Several artists have been dealing with the legacy of the power by interrupting the narrative flux of monuments. Denizens and activist join this practice to speak out. Those transformative actions use the status, the visibility, the shape, the characters, the history and the stories of the monument to subvert the narratives encoded in the object, to enlighten issues, to create a space of confrontation or sharing. In this perspective, monuments function as specific context, scenography, actor and object part of a more complex artwork or discourse.

I explore this phenomena of by hacking and weaving multilayered connections between monuments, denizens, activist and artists.

The blog focus on monuments and hack that can give voice to feminist, anti-specist and anti-racist struggles in an intersectional perspective.

My hacks questions and articulates two dimensions: the temporal one, where there is a drop between permanent and ephemeral, and the discursive one, where I focus on the relational level through conversation and transitional objects. Currently I’m working to make the Nile monument to flood in Naples within Atlas dei Corpi monument specific project.
