La Nascita della Respons-Abilità – The Birth of Respons-Ability (2023)
Digital watercolor & pastels. Video, fine art giclées (varying dimensions)
Keynote speaker at a conference on responsibility, I proposed a novel etymology of the word: rather than the judgemental “responsibility!”, the welcoming and hopeful “response-ability” – the acknowledgement of our shared, human capability to react to the many adverse circumstances we face today. My speech was accompanied by this artwork, that is the visualisation of such internal process. Presented in Rome on May 27th, 2023, at AMKA.
