Un giorno

Giorgia Frigerio, Un giorno One day is a journal that creates a narrative starting from what happened during September 1st throughout the years. I decided to focus on Martha, thought to be the last wild pigeon died at Cincinnati zoo on September 1st 1904. At the beginning of the 19th century, the wild pigeon represented the largest bird population in the world. The enormous number also determined the rapid decline, man in fact decided to exploit this great resource by carrying out massive hunting and deforestation. In the lifetime of a human being, the specie went from a very large population to extinction. This story is visually associated with other events that happened on September 1, such as World War II beginning with Germanyโ€™s invasion and bombing of Poland in 1939.

'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.
