Bianca Toni, Evasione is a book project that presents a personal collection of photographs and objects from my trip to Tokyo, in March 2017. The archive becomes a stream of images one after the other, subdivided in nine categories. This categorization is an attempt to decipher the connections that are formed on the time of travel, the time of evasion we touch unknown objects and places with our bodies and explore with our minds meanings that are ours alone.
'Cagna Rauca' is an artistic collective born from the idea of reclaiming physical and online spaces through a queer and transfeminist lens. The collective brings together designers who engage with themes of resistance using innovative and radical approaches. Founded in Urbino in 2023, the project emerged from a shared desire to experiment and collaborate. Today, the aim is to continue collaborating and creating new connections despite the current fragmented locations of the members. The project keeps evolving, as it is conceived as transitional, ideas find their habitat when they are shared, and they produce meaning only through interaction. One example is Interferenza, a temporary curatorial project initiated by 'Cagna rauca' in 2023. Through an open call, artists were selected and invited into a horizontal exchange, engaging in weekly meetings where everyone simultaneously acted as both artist and curator. The designers involved mainly work through editorial design, moving between different languages such as illustration, photography, and media art. The projects are self-initiated and self-financed. Books, zines, posters, and cards are mostly digitally printed, though some works are produced using risograph and silkscreen printing.
