The research explores performative actions subverting monument narratives by mapping, hacking and weaving multilayered connections between monuments, denizens, activist and artists. hackingmonuments.tumblr.com is the blog where I collect and share on hacks, done by other artists or activists, that voice queer, feminist, antispecist and decolonial struggles in an intersectional perspective. My hacks mainly focus on creating a flow of narratives around, with and on a specific monument. I wish to subvert this space of monologue by activating (visual and verbal) conversations.

I started the blog in 2016 in the frame of Non Riservato residency with the support of Milano Attraverso and presented my research on the monuments of Milan in the frame of the solo exhibition Hacking Monuments at Artcitylab// Ciocca Gallery in 2018.

With the Atlas dei Corpi on going project, since 2019 the research is rooting into a durational dialogue with the Corpo di Napoli monument and informed a new practice based research.

Thanks to the Artist-in-Residence grant from Nctm Studio Legale, during the Residency at the Waterfront, in the frame of State of the City project, the research dialogued with Maasgod monument.
In the frame of the Urban Center project at Triennale Milano, I’ve curated a Hacking Monuments program in 2020. The research deepened through a series of interviews that lead to the collective exhibition “Tips to make sense of them”, on VisualcontainerTv, and to the workshop “Parla con me” hold by Pietro Gaglianò and to “Dall’Ombra” intervention realized by Patrizio Raso for Fondazione Franceschi.
The process lead to the contribution “Voices of Marble and Bronze” for the TYPP academic journal, and to “Twelve. There is no age, no space, no time to be a slave” a digital hack on Montanelli’s monument in Milan.
