At the festival

During the festival, the self-production Teiera will produce and bind a risograph book with a screen-printed cover, with the collaboration with CORPOC (Bergamo) and Inuit (Bologna) for the printing. Inside, four stories by the three members of the project (Sarah Mazzetti, Giulia Sagramola, Cristina Spanò) and Roman Muradov, russian-american author and guest of the festival. The four artist will reflect on the idea of Limbo, directly linked to the concept of waiting that’s the focus of their most recent work Waiting Rooms

The materials and the entire working process will be documented day by day in Salaborsa and in a virtual space dedicated to the project, so to allow the public to understand how a book can be self-produced and what are the planning, creative and productive passages preceding its actual material incarnation.

And finally…at the end of the festival, a celebration with the authors for the arrival of the new Teiera’s production!
