An exhibition and a talk to investigate derogatory insults and their consequences.

‍

We partnered with the young designer Agostino De Palmas, to design and host an exhibition and a talk, where we explored some powerful and dangerous Italian slurs and discriminatory words, 

‍

During this talk moderated by Michela Locati, founder of Hello Tomorrow Agency we interviewed Espérance Hakuzwimana and Grace Fainelli, activists, inclusive language experts and founders of the Narrazioni Contaminate Collective.
We delved into a profound and complex dialogue about hostile words, the reactions they awaken, how to handle them, what it means to be a language activist and how some words carry with them emotions, stories, history and lived experiences.

Through a shared narrative we sought pathways to cultivate the awareness essential for inclusive communication and to forge a society where no one is marginalized.
