Spazzino
Descrizione del progetto
Drawing connections among Italian Neorealism, Arte Povera, and the Black Aesthetic art movement of the 1960s and 1970s, I will create a choreographed and interventionist trash cleaning performance in the streets of Rome. I will respond to the role of the Spazzino, or streetsweeper, as black immigrants work in the face of Italy’s waste crisis.
