Francesca Penzo
During five meetings on themes related to the body, different forms of violence and the relationship between body, adolescent gaze and space, performer and choreographer Francesca Penzo guides young people on a journey to discover ways of reappropriating spaces and bodies through activities and practices related to movement. The workshop includes theoretical inputs, images from the world of visual arts and meetings with guests from different backgrounds to explore the themes of African descent, queer culture and ableism, pursuing a perspective on gender-based violence that is not exclusively white, heteronormative and/or ableist and binary.
