La Voce di New York: At Magazzino Italian Art: Pensiero Plurale, On the Politics of Image-Making

In conjunction with Black History Month, Magazzino Italian Art is pleased to present Present Memories: On the Politics of Image-Making, the fourth iteration of Pensiero Plurale, a series of programs conceived and curated by Ilaria Conti centered on issues of cultural and social justice, intersectional thinking, and the arts across Italy and the United States. Saturday,

Present Memories explores the politics behind some of the incomplete or fictitious narratives that continue to shape historical memories and present-day identities in connection to Italy. The invited speakers will discuss strategies to question and critically rethink such processes of knowledge-formation through visual and material culture.

Previous installments of Pensiero Plurale have included On the Politics of Visibility, a live-streamed conversation with Alessandra Ferrini, Binta Diaw, Johanne Affricot, and Simone Frangi, Contemporary Art and Social Justice in Italy a live-streamed conversation with Justin Randolph Thompson, Chiara Figone, and Ilaria Bonacossa, and BLAQ•IT: Representing Blackness in Italy, a screening and conversation with Fred Kuwornu on the visual histories of Blackness in post-war Italian culture.
