Siamo in linea is the second creative outcome of the AHRC-SGSAH-funded PhD project “Performing Stragismo and Counter-spectacularisation: Italian right-wing Terrorism and Its Legacies”.

It is presented as an interactive installation including tablets, each dedicated to a participant. The audience can select one or more questions (out of six, the same for each participant) to ask the women, having an “interview-like” experience.

More than Fuori Programma, it exposes the process of creation: the women's answers often result from the assembly of different fragments of conversation, laying bare before the audience the incompleteness and partiality of the material with which they engage. At the same time, the cuts reveal the power structure and encourage the audience to reflect on agency in participatory practices.

Presented at:
