Rewriting spatial narratives – Sicilian Mafia dissidence and the disappearing ladino in Greece.

Gaia Pulses

Situated Practice students Anastasia Perahia Dede and Valeria Muteri share and perform their work followed by a discussion with invited guests. Anastasia presents a video work exploring the nexus of language and landscape through the disappearance of judeao-spanish/(or)/ladino in Greece. Valeria’s intervention includes a performative reading from a ‘balcony’ representing the main dissident found in Castelvetrano, Sicily, Giuseppe Cimarosa. Son of a cousin of the current mafia Godfather, Giuseppe responded to the family by declaring his position against the mafia publicly. The project is an homage to his brave act of resistance.Invited guests include Anna Sergi, Senior Lecturer in Criminology at the University of Essex with a specialism in organised crime.Food and drink will be available to purchase from Gaia Pulses at The Baths after the event.
