Damiana Facen, Memorabilia is a book of visual and written poetry. It revives the repetition of gestures and practices from the past. The book unfolds through the repetitive process of a game that awakens the memory of past actions by deconstructing the present and constructing a fictitious one, thus creating a false memory that anyone can believe they possess. Through its design β featuring paper changes, inserts, and hidden poems β the book poetically expresses this state of confusion and melancholy.

'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.
