Lavoro Oscuro

Synopsis

«We heard that not too long ago there were witches who would rub themselves with oils to take flight, beyond the sea that kept them in their place, and that at night they would reach the mainland where, under a great tree, they would feast on everything that the barren land did not offer them. Those among them who could not escape were turned into snakes, fleeing into the forest never to return, and that is why among Men there is the custom of crushing the heads of snakes with a stick, so that the witches can neither return to their human form nor reproduce, perpetuating their lineage.»

৺ ෴ ර ∇ ❃ ﹌﹌ (Sonia D’Alto, Claudia Gangemi, Susanna Gonzo, Sofia Melluso, nao) is a polymorphous study group founded in October 2020 between Palermo, Naples, and Berlin. Its aim is to explore the intersection between feminism and the Southern Question, reworking traditional myths and historical narratives in order to create multitemporal alliances with the present. Their methodological approach involves the use of dialogic form and self-education as practices of collective imagination.
