Feminismo antipatrircales and Poetic Disodedience was a research cluster part of the 2 yers project Queer Feminist Currents. Conceived as a collective exploration of different acts, techniques, postures and spells actively affirming feminist resistance against patriarchy and extractive colonialism, the event was inspired by practices of knowledge production and artistic creation developed by contemporary artists based in Latin America.

Domestics Against Domestication
London, UK, June 2019
A study day hosted by the University of Roehampton, Department of Drama, Theatre and Performance & Coventry University, Centre for Postdigital Cultures. Convened by Valeria Graziano and Giulia Palladini . With contribution by: Valeria Graziano | Bettina Knaup | Giulia Palladini | Ella Parry-Davis | Eleanor Roberts | Kim Trogal | Ana Vilenica.
The starting point for this project is the encounter between the idea of ‘domestics’ emerging from my work (suggesting that the set of activities associated with organizing, maintaining and inhabiting a house constitutes a category in its own right, that is not a given, but a field of struggle and imagination) and the critical reflection on technological domestication, central in Valeria Graziano’s research work. If technological domestication has functioned as a framework to understand how industrial modernity has shaped home life, it is high time to question again the demarcations of what this entails today, both in terms of the gendered, class and racial division of domestic labor and in terms of repurposing the technological means of social reproduction.

The Labor and Leisure of Performance
July 2014 | Speicher, Waagegasse 2, Erfurt
Interdisciplinary workshop convened by Giulia Palladini and Ilka Saal
The workshop put an integral, yet underestimated, phenomenon of today’s culture industry up for debate: the “free” labor professional and amateur workers in the performing arts advance during their “free” time in hopes of future validation.
