These pages gather three open, fragmented accounts – deliberately partial and subjective attempts, knowingly incomplete, to render through a personal lens some of the experiences lived during the Antroday days in Rome. In their reverberations, these experiences open onto social, political and identity questions.
The textual fragments (written by Silvia Carletti, Martina Macchia and Martina Musio) and the visual formalisation (by Martina Musio) are uncoordinated elaborations, woven from relationships and apertures. They gather layered sediments and emotional drives, often invisible or illegible.
The order in which they are presented is not the recommended reading order – rather, a formal possibility dictated by the publication container. We therefore felt it necessary to offer an alternative: an anti-hierarchical, horizontal mode of narration, one that decentres the rationality of language and the hegemonic ordering of written text. This alternative is contained in the downloadable PDF linked at the close of this contribution; it brings to light the process that guided us, rethinking writing as a collective, tentacular form.
