On Wednesday, December 18, from 6.00pm to 8.00pm, Fondazione Giuliani is pleased to host the event of the publishing project听TELL ME STORIES!听(Politi Seganfreddo editions, in collaboration with Flash Art), curated by AUR's Professor Manuela Pacella.
The evening will consist of talks and readings by Cecilia Canziani, Giulia Crispiani, Allison Grimaldi Donahue, Valerio Mannucci, Manuela Pacella, moderated by Michela Ceruti (Flash ArtManaging Editor).
Tell me stories! contains the texts published online for the column of the same name from 2020 to 2024 on听Flash Art Italia. A chorus of authorial voices exploring the frontier of critical writing that deliberately defies definitions and blurs the boundaries between genres. The most influential authors of interdisciplinary art writing, autofiction, theoretical fiction, critical writing, creative writing and beyond have been analyzed through insights that are themselves experimental. This gives the reader the opportunity to get to know profiles that are often untranslated into Italian, without feeling the weight of a typically academic, interpretive language that distances rather than brings knowledge closer.
Texts by听Cecilia Canziani, Valentina Cipullo Callegarini, Giulia Crispiani, Marta Federici, Allison Grimaldi Donahue, Valerio Mannucci, Anneleen Masschelein, Manuela Pacella, Alda Palermo, Catherine Parsonage, Luisa Villegas G. with Carolina Chac贸n Bernal.
on听Kathy Acker, Gloria Anzald煤a, Anna Banti, Dodie Bellamy, Daniela Cascella, Maria Fusco, Kenneth Goldsmith, Juliet Jacques, Jill Johnston, Wayne Koestenbaum, Chris Kraus, Quinn Latimer, Yve Lomax, Maggie Nelson, Ariana Reines, Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui, Georgia Sagri, Rebecca Solnit, Lynne Tillman, Jacob Wren, Kate Zambreno.
