Biography
collettivo scafandra is a poetic research project. founded in Venice in 2023, it explores language through site-specific practices of collective writing and performance, editorial projects and installations.
alice is a musicopoetic (non)existence researcher. through sound, she explores states where memory and imagination intertwine. her practice unfolds as sonic cartographies woven from drones, ancestral rhythms, and fragmented voices.
Julian Zhara s a poet, journalist, and PhD candidate in Albanian Studies at Ca’ Foscari. His poetry explores the recovery of what has been repressed, allowing his mother tongue to act upon his adopted language. The oral, almost musical-score quality of his poetry follows in the footsteps of Dylan Thomas and Joseph Brodsky.
Francesca Gironi was born in Ancona. Performer and poet, she has published four poetry collections: È severamente vietato(Prufrock spa 2025), A (Prufrock Spa 2024), Il diretto interessato (Marco Saya 2021) and Abbattere i costi (Miraggi, 2016). Since 2016, she has been staging her poetry performance in venues, clubs, theatres, museums and festivals, exploring the hybridisation of languages.
