If you move something happensGiulia Currà

(IT)

Multidisciplinary

For this occasion, Currà invites the public to share a listening space through a reading dedicated to the ancient Calabrian tale of Re Pipi, one of the first feminist texts in the history of the region where food becomes a space of resistance through erotic power. The space will be embroidered with poetic and material fragments that will lead guests to experience trasloco as a magical practice. The ongoing research project experiments the mover body (traslocatrice) through shared practices. Participants will receive an edition of the fairy tale revisited through the technique of Crush Notes: a linguistic rubble, remnants, discards, poetic notes of the traslocatrice.

The practice lasts approximately 30 minutes and includes a final sharing session.

The research project is granted by the Italian Council program (2024).

Giulia Currà is a traslocatrice (mover) since 1988. Her artistic practice and life converge in a single research project about trasloco and its re-signification related to the southern Italian diaspora thanks to poetry. She lives in Casa Cicca Museum, her house and depot, taking care of more than 3.000 traces and objects donated by guests and sharing practices. She founded Traslochi Emotivi in 2011 as a moving company that creates actions and editions through collaborations with artists and beloved. Some appearances with Traslochi Emotivi: Shmorévaz, Paris; JLU, Giessen; Happy Victims, Plastic, Milano; In-ruins Residency and Symposium, Amendolara and Fondazione Elpis, Milano; Deposta, FOG Triennale Teatro, Milano; Two hours ago I fell in love, Rimini; Vegetal Import Festival, Manifesta 11, Zurich; Nothing New, Silencio Club, Paris; RB// IC, XV.
