Strangers and watchers

Annalisa Dalpozzo, Strangers and watchers is a research, an archive, that chronicles our relationship with the stranger, the other. Through questionnaires, articles, poems, songs, movies and art references I tried to tell a small part of what is our relationship with the stranger, with people we don't know. It all started with a finding, a box full of photographs abandoned in a street. From that fact arode a series of reflections and questions that, from a personal dimension, I wanted to extend to the group, to the collective. The answers that you gave me were the starting point for the research collected in this book. The project tries to harness that feeling, those kinds of relationships that seem to tell the story of our daily relationship with the human other. At the end we are all strangers and watchers.

'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.
