Performance di Parola tra Gesto e Architettura [Word performance between gesture and architecture] is a series of events inspired by the practices of radical pedagogy. The series aims at deconstructing words thanks to performative actions that explore the realms of etymology and meaning, thanks to alternative forms that occur in various semantic and disciplinary fields. The goal of this research is to open up a reflection on language, on what is beyond it and at the same time implies it: words, gestures, architecture. The series will host contributions by Roberta Mansueto (takecare), Marta Olivieri, Pietro Gaglianò, Simona Cleopazzo and by the collective projects Casa a Mare and Post Disaster. Most of the contributors are active in our area and share processes and practices that aim at critically thematising the space of action. They will establish a relation with the INA-casa neighbourhood, with the aim of reconsider once again the inter-subjective space of the street as the matrix of political and social debates.
This series of meetings was inaugurated in July with the solo show I – WE – YES by Claire Fontaine, which can be visited until 15 September 2020, and with a lecture by the collective artist about the connection between experience, representation and inter-subjectivity. Claire Fontaine highlighted the political value of bodily coexistence that, despite the obstacles and the symptomatic crisis of presence, should not be replaced by normalising the indirect means of communication as the only way to establish connections.
Performance di Parola tra Gesto e Architettura is promoted by the General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity and is one of the projects that won the second edition of the “Creative Living Lab” award and funded as part of the extraordinary 2020 program in the field of culture and entertainment of the Puglia Region.

corpotesto
workshop curated by Roberta Mansueto (takecare) and Marta Olivieri
corpotesto is an eco-aware workshop using the body and the text within the INA-casa neighbourhood in Lecce.
corpotesto tries to establish a dialogue among the various levels of landscape, namely the visible, the invisible, and the biotic ones, through textual eco-compositions that get reactivated by the act of reading. The aim is to stimulate, thanks to the word, the most fundamental bodily practices, and to unleash a “response-ability” of the bodies inserted into the public and natural spaces. At the same time, the workshop aims at questioning the body in what concerns the creation of the space in which the body itself moves, acts, and interact, in order to experiment the various possibilities of co-inhabiting the space.

Lezione Popolare
by Pietro Gaglianò. History of art for young people and adults
Pedagogical experimentation plays a central role in the art critics’ research. Starting from the experience of Nuova Didattica Popolare [New people’s didactic], a Guilmi Art Project held between 2012 and 2017, this experimentation took the form of conversations with the inhabitants of rural and urban communities. Public spaces (or those spaces that are perceived as a community space) recover their very nature of places made for sharing opinions and thoughts. Here, these views are solicited by evoking images and artworks. The main challenge for everyone is to find a common language and the art forms, thanks to their symbolic field, provide the perfect ground for this research.
start 18:00

Prima Casa
by Casa a Mare
public inauguration ceremony
Within the series Performance di Parola tra Gesto e Architettura, the art collective Casa a Mare has created the polychrome tile named Prima Casa [First home]. The tile was especially realised to be placed in the INA-casa apartment blocks. Thus, it synthesises a journey of analysis and appropriation of both the plastic/figurative aspects and the historical/social facets of the INA social housing plan.
start 18:00
