As an introduction to Poems I Will Never Release, currently presented at the Centre, watch a presentation of Chiara Fumai and the feminine figures to whom she gave a voice through her work. Directed and narrated by Sofia Kouloukouri (artist and mediator at the Centre), this video dives into the feminine figures who marked history and inspired Chiara Fumai. Despite their strength and anger, these women have been either marginalized or forgotten. Among many others, the bearded woman Annie Jones, the “Circassian beauty” Zalumma Agra, the German terrorist Ulrike Meinhof, the illiterate medium Eusapia Palladino, or the feminist writer Carla Lonzi – all punctuate the work of Fumai.
