How to inhabit a space that is supposed not to be inhabited? POP Adriatico has explored the uncertain future of the Porto Vecchio in trasformation, occupying the spatial and temporal interstice between the Trieste that is lived and the one that is abandoned. This book collects the outcomes of a season of observations that, through art, music, cinema, and architecture, have inhabited the Varco Monumentale VII, now finally opened to the city.

A project that pursues the decolonisation of education through the articulation of art practices, research and activism, implementing hybrid format between higher education and artistic experimentation. The project builds upon researches, artistic experiences and social movements that claim the urgency to problematize Eurocentric, discriminatory narratives and hegemonic pedagogical contents in schools and society at large. It is also concerned with school abandon rates and lower access to higher education among racialised people and groups exposed to structural inequalities.

Texts by Hervé Joubert-Laurencin, Enrico Pitozzi, and Annalisa Sacchi
The volume was published for the Carloni-Franceschetti joint exhibition Esso: Shadows Oozing Gold, at the Institute for Contemporary Art in Zagreb, on display from the 27th of May to the 2nd of July 2022. The show’s title takes its name from a cycle of works that the two artists had been developing from 2017. This series investigates, through temporal short-circuits bridging current events with Italy’s collective memory, the various forms in which fascism takes root as a cultural model in differing social strata. The project relates fascist ideology to petroleum, taking its cue from Pasolini’s reflections on the topic in his last, posthumously published novel.

Texts by Malvina Borgherini, Serena Dambrosio, Chiara Davino, Piersandra Di Matteo, Marco Felicioni, Elena Giacomelli, Pierluigi Musarò, and Lorenza Villani
Translation and proofreading by Julius De Michelis
Designed by Lorenzo Mason Studio
The book is a collection of essays which reflect on the double dimension of immunity: as aggressive-military distortion and as permeable border that generates alliances.
Referring to the fields of Urban Studies, Sociology of Culture, and Visual Arts, the authors analyze, starting from 2020, how the nesting of emergency processes spatializes along material and symbolic boundaries, consolidates in immune narratives, and how these can be deactivated. The volume stands at the margin between academia and independent realities.

The book is a collection of essays, by scholars and curators, which reflect on the symbolic exchange between the spectator and the moving image. The authors analyze this relationship through the analysis of different works by artists, film and video-makers such as Éric Baudelaire, Tony Conrad, Morgan Fisher, Kahlil Joseph, and Vittorio De Seta. The volume also includes an interview with eight members of Videofreex, one of the pioneering US collectives who utilized the video since the late-1960s.
