Ragno Collective

PHEW! Collective strategies for desiring bodies is a workshop that invites participants to explore the power of desire and imagination as transformational tools for personal and collective change. Through a dynamic card-based game, participants co-create strategies for approaching the desires of others. PHEW! was born thinking about desire both as a subjective and intimate feeling and as a collective and participatory one. For the By Design and by Disaster conference, the workshop will focus on desires related to the vitality of the communities of which each feels a part.

About 

RAGNO is a collective of artists, designers, curators and organisers dedicated to researching and experimenting with collective practices that interweave people, organisms and spaces. RAGNO explores relational and community dynamics, paying particular attention to processuality as a valuable artistic and educational tool. Founded in 2022, the collective has created three artistic residencies – Al margine la magia; Affamato ed insaziabile, il desiderio; Radici Future – that have nourished a broader research on desire as a force of activation and social transformation.
