Contemporary Cultural Tools for Identities in the Making is out. Coedited by Luísa Santos and I, published by Routledge.
With contributions by Dzifa Peters, Sara Mancinelli & Sameer Qumsiyeh, Joana Moura, Luísa Santos, Stephanie Ifill, Federico Rudari, Pier Giovanni Adamo, Mattia Tosti (with Monia Ben Hamouda), Niall Martin, and Alessandro Cugola (Every Island).
Spanning across methodologies - including literary analysis, a visual essay, interviews, and self-phenomenology - and topics - from malleable architecture to queer photographic portraiture and the media representation of Palestine - the book addresses how artistic and cultural practices offer different opportunities for the expression and definition of under-represented identities and the negotiation of ones in the making.
I have no words to describe the joy of seeing this book coming to life. This was a three-year collective endeavour. Thank you to Luísa for believing in this idea even before I fully did. Routledge’s editorial team and board for the trust and freedom. All the contributors for their work and words. Aishwarya and Dela for the impeccable editorial support.
We will launch it after the summer. News soon!
“Sombras: Histórias de Colonialismo, Solidariedade e Libertação” kicks off this Thursday at 9PM @cinemasaojorge with a selection of films and a talk between Alessandra Ferrini (artist and winner of the Maxxi Bulgari prize) and Justin Randolph Thompson (artist and founder of the Black History Month Florence) and researcher Federico Rudari.
Here’s a look at the works screening on Day 1:
🔸 Alessandra Ferrini – Gaddafi in Rome: Anatomy of a Friendship
Originally commissioned for the Venice Biennial 2024, this essay-film dissects a symbolic 2009 handshake between Berlusconi and Gaddafi, unraveling layers of political performance, historical trauma, and colonial memory.
🔸 Patrizio di Massimo – Oae
Shot in Libya in 2008, this piece blends original footage from Libya with scenes from The Lion of the Desert—a censored epic on Omar al-Mukhtar—to confront how Italy continues to obscure its colonial past.
🔸 Niccolò Moronato – TeleGuaiana
Through a wild visual remix of paintings, TV sketches, and vintage film jingles, this piece revisits the Medici’s failed attempt to colonize French Guiana in 1608—linking it to today’s offshore utopias.
🔸 Martina Melilli – Il quarto giorno di scuola
A child reflects on his fourth day of school after arriving from Africa. He’s supposed to be Italian, but doesn’t quite feel it. The work moves between family memory and national identity in a poignant meditation on migration and belonging.
🔸 Justin Randolph Thompson – doan yu tell none I made it
Shot in Super8, this film contrasts colonial triumphalism with subtle resistance. Beneath a triumphal arch, two boxers spar with ghosts of the past while we Senghor’s words linking African humanism to today’s struggles.
🔸 Invernomuto – MALÙ – The Stereotype of the Black Venus in Italy [censored]
From 19th-century European freak shows to 1980s pop culture, this critical montage unpacks the recurring stereotype of the hypersexualized Black woman in Italian media, exposing how colonial fantasies still shape public imagination.

To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Meaning in Architecture, edited by Charles Jencks and George Baird (1969), Philosophy Kitchen is launching an issue edited by Carlo Deregibus and Aurosa Alison asking what of this legacy remains in a time of multiplication and fragmentation.
I wrote a piece titled ‘Architecture and its metaphors. The poetic form as experience’ which starts from Nathan Silver’s essay ‘Architecture without Buildings’ and looks at the experiential dimension of space shifting the focus from what architecture is, represents or does, to how we live it and, eventually, who we are. Some of my main inspirations are in the post.
Remember to ‘disturb order gracefully’ always!! The full issue is available here: /2024/10/pk21-meaning-in-architecture-now/
