A meditation on the fragility and resilience of life, the exhibition presents images, video and text-based artworks exploring the themes of catastrophe, desire, and radical hope.

Metropoliz: To the Moon and Back, has been published in the bilingual journal Espace art actuel – pratiques et perspectives. Edited by Marie-Pier Boucher, this special issue, entitled Space Feminism, gathers various texts that repopulate the space imaginary with artistic projects constructed according to feminist perspectives. My text focuses on the Museo dell’Altro e dell’Altrove di Metropoliz (MAAM) in Rome, and is punctuated with the voices of fellow artists Robin Siobhan McKenna, Anton Roca and Giorgio de Finis.

Planimetria Abitata (Living Blueprint) is a site specific artwork created at the Museo dell’Altro e dell’Altrove (Museum of the Other and the Elsewhere) in Rome, Italy. This museum is unique in that it is situated in an occupied industrial complex, home to some 80 families including immigrants, refugees, artists and local activists. The work was made with the cyanotype process, which historically was used to create “blue prints,” reproductions of architectural floor plans. For this project, a living blue print was created with residents of the site and is now part of the museum’s permanent exhibition.

“Why send messages to the stars? Because they are ancient, because they persist, because we are made of the same matter. Because they are our ancestors, our origin and our future.“

Ad Astra is an artist’s book by The Society of Affective Archives. The publication is part of a public art project commissioned for the medical library of the University of Montreal Health Center.
