Entity of Decolonization by DAAR - Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti

04.02-02.04.23

A project curated by Matteo Lucchetti

Entity of Decolonization by DAAR – Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti explores the possibilities of critical reappropriation, reuse, and subversion of fascist colonial architecture and its modernist legacy. The new installation at the core of the exhibition intends to profane the building that is home to the Entity of Colonization of the Sicilian Latifundia (1940) in Borgo Rizza (Syracuse, Sicily), taking its facade and reusing it as seating, around which collective rethinking of modernist and fascist legacies can take place. Decolonial assemblies via public, open discourse will be held over the course of the activation.
