Freedom has many forms
Lecture-performance

Freedom has many forms is an exploration, an experience, an archive, and a dramaturgical and performative research project centered on the “other” lexicon of writings that appear and disappear on city walls. A fusion of theatrical language, sound arts, and urban landscape that erupts into scenic material.

Ateliersi turns its gaze toward streets inhabited by anonymous individuals, where the boundary between public and private becomes fluid and undefined.

In this lecture-performance, Ateliersi presents materials recounting stories connected to writings on walls. Small secrets, micro-histories, and anecdotes about the authors of the graffiti and the act of writing/defacing are revealed. The materials used range from books, photographs, and audio documents to video archives, creating a unique iconography around the subject.

The performance is part of the Urban Spray Lexicon project, whose very first chapter originated during Bologna al muro, an event held in September 2011 and curated by the association Facchinix2 (Elastico and Seredipità), inspired by a web archive collecting and documenting writings photographed on the walls of Bologna.
