On April 9 and 10, 2024, writer Mayra Rodrìguez Castro will lead a workshop titled “La Sonnambula.” During the workshop, participants will explore the city at night, traversing underground aqueducts and visiting Rome’s invisible archives. The workshop aims to consider film, photography, writing, and walking as traditions of image creation.
During the course of three sessions, the writings of Antonio Gramsci will be studied, the architecture of the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma will be observed, and artifacts from the former Colonial Museum will be listened to.
Practical information / Access
The event will take place at Vicolo dell'Atleta, 21 (CASTRO). For more information and reservations, please send an email to info@castroprojects.it.
