This summer we had the great opportunity to take part of the Summer School "Documenting Sadow Knowledge" with @naba and @edhea_ch at the @istitutosvizzero .
On the last day we co-hosted the Symposium "Curating Shadow Knowledge".
We would like to warmly thank our generous guests for their precious contributions: Andrea Bagnato, Raphaël Cuomo & Maria Iorio, Jelena Martinovic, Laurence Rasti, Lucia Bernini, Jonas Heller, Emily Jacir, Gioia Dal Molin, Sara Alberani, Silvia Simoncelli, Belinda Kazeem-Kaminski.
Thank you also to the participating students of @headgeneve@edhea_ch for their insights and to the students of @naba for their performed inputs.
We had the chance to spend some time with Lorenzo Romito, co-founder of Stalker @stalkerlab and Jessy Ri-Sogni d’Oro, who introduced us to Spin Time @spintimelabs and the Museo dell’Atto di Ospitalità. We warmly thank them for their hospitality, generosity and imputs.
These interventions were part of the Summer School "Documenting Shadow Knowledge" from @edhea_ch and @headgeneve in collaboration with @naba at the @istitutosvizzero .
Many thanks to Anna Daneri, Federico Rahola and Silvia Simoncelli for their precious imputs on the relations between migration, art, curation and the new knowledges emerging from these connections.
These interventions were part of the Summer School "Documenting Shadow Knowledge" from @edhea_ch and @headgeneve in collaboration with @naba at the @istitutosvizzero .
As part of the Summer School "Documenting Shadow Knowledge" we had an amazing day with Liryc Dela Cruz @lirycdc , who introduced us to his exhibition "Il Mio Filippino: For Those Who Care To See" in @mattatoio .
In his first solo exhibition, "Il Mio Filippino: For Those Who Care To See", Liryc Dela Cruz continues his multi-year research on the Philippine’s diaspora in Italy, parts of which were conducted at Mattatoio’s Prender-si Cura research residency and artistic production programme in 2022. Dela Cruz focuses on domestic workers, seeking to understand the states of exhaustion and practices of care and rest that are associated with their lives.
Many thanks to @lirycdc and @naba for their generosity and hospitality. @headgeneve #headgeneve @edhea_ch #edhea_ch @naba #nabaroma @istitutosvizzero #istitutosvizzeroroma
Great start to the Summer School "Documenting Shadow Knowledge" organized by @edhea_ch and @headgeneve in collaboration with @naba at the @istitutosvizzero in Rome.
Documenting Shadow Knowledge builds upon art and history's recent concerns with documenting the invisibility of migratory memory and the need to preserve and include migrants' experiences in the contemporary debate on hospitality. The project is fed by knowledge produced in recent research and publications by EDHEA and HEAD: "Medical Borders: Visibility and Shadow Knowledge" (start in 2022, EDHEA) and "Art and Humanitarian Action: What is possible?" (2021-22, HEAD). @headgeneve #headgeneve @edhea_ch #edhea_ch @naba #nabaroma @istitutosvizzero #istitutosvizzeroroma
Little glimpses of our study trip in Torino last April.
The objective of this trip was to explore the plurality of modes of labour convened by artistic practices. We started by visiting the Lee Lozano retrospective ‘strike’, in the great company of one of the curator and former CCC student Lucrezia Calabro Visconti @lucreziacalabrovisconti . Lee Lozano’s retrospective in the Pinacoteca Agnelli featured a wide selection of the artist’s works, from the first figurative drawings to the radical conceptual phase, corresponding to the artist final withdraw from the art scene.
Pinacoteca Agnelli @pinacotecaagnelli , which first opened in 2002, is a museum institution located in Turin within the Lingotto complex, the former FIAT car factory built in the 1920s and transformed into a multi-purpose building by Renzo Piano at the end of the 1990s.
On the 20th of April our amazing M2 students defended their thesis during a collective sessions. On this occasion we had the great pleasure to host as external reviewers Ghalas Charara, Elisa Rusca and David Cross. We would like to warmly thank them for their precious insights and presences. And once again, our warmest congratulations go to our students for the thoughts and care invested in the work of redaction and edition of their thesis.
Public Seminar - Aria Spinelli

Public Seminar and Q&A (english)
The CCC Public Seminar offers a transversal platform to the CCC students and the wider public. The Public Seminars hosts debates on research questions of contemporary relevance. Each year, the CCC Public Seminar revolves around a particular approach and theme.
Aria Spinelli is an independent curator and a PostDoc Researcher at the University of Amsterdam. Her PhD has analysed relations of curatorial practice to social imagination and performativity. Her main area of research is the investigation of the relationship between art, activism and political theory. She holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in art history, visual arts and curatorial studies. Founding member of the artistic and curatorial collective Radical Intention, from 2018 to 2020 she was an associate researcher and member of the curatorial team of the project The Independent at the MAXXI – Museum of the XXI century for art (Rome). Between 2015 and 2020 she collaborated as an external curator at the Pistoletto Foundation (Biella) and BOZAR, Center for Fine Arts (Brussels). She has published many articles and she is the editor of the publication Shaping Desired Futures (NERO, 2018). Between 2009 and 2012 she was curator at the Isola Art Center (Milan).
"Conscience fugitive" est le titre de travail de recherche de Gemma Ushengewe, étudiantx M2, qui s’intéresse à comment des systèmes de contrôle et de surveillance créent en leur sein la figure du fugitif.v.e.x.
Cette recherche ouvre aussi sur la question de « qui désigne-t-on comme proie » et « quel profile pourchasse-t-on » à travers l’histoire du passé et du contemporain.
Lae fugitif.ve.x, qui désire retrouver une certaine liberté, se retrouve engagé.e.x dans une course de prédation dont iel est la proie. Une nouvelle conscience naît de ce positionnement de proie qui demande de réinventer d’autres narrations pour déjouer une possible capture. Ce positionnement /mouvement est la force émancipatrice de cette figure qui tente et qui réussit à échapper à tout ordre d’assignation et de contrôle, qui retrace des chemins non-cartographiés, qui passe sous des camouflages, qui construit des réseaux clandestins et qui invente des codes secrets.
Par le texte, la performance et la vidéo, Gemma s’inspire des codes des fugitif.ve.x.s Neg’Marrons pour incarner cette figure comme élément fictionnel dans des récits à voix multiples à la fois menaçantes, incantatoires et magiques. Ces voix, insaisissables et versatiles, ouvrent un champ de l’imaginaire vers une fugitivité et joue avec l’oralité et le texte. Dans cette nouvelle performance « Mort ou vif », les images immobiles en plexiglas s’animent à travers les déclenchements des lumières, la performativité du corps et du texte. Elles acquièrent ainsi une vitalité et une subjectivité dans une narration de fugitivité.
