That urge and that need to shape, to write, to somehow express what remains caught in the mind, tattooed on the body, etched deep within.<br data-start=\"604\" data-end=\"607\" \/>Colored chalks, pencils, paper, and a typewriter bind me to a past made of carefree games, sea, and friendships \u2014 all swallowed in an instant by the pain of absence.<br data-start=\"772\" data-end=\"775\" \/>A small notebook and a pen were all I could take with me during the years I lived abroad, in the essential austerity of survival.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"908\" data-end=\"1064\">The present has allowed for safer, more stable harbors, yet the sea remains rough, and the time we live in restless, troubled by a thousand adverse winds.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1444\">Necessary and urgent was the need to find places where the canvases could come to life, where everything could finally be put in order and narrated \u2014 beginning with the self and with my work as an editor at Kaba and Al3vie \u2014 the human encounter and the encounter with History, with its ancient roots that reach us to overturn patriarchal and violent ways of doing and knowing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1446\" data-end=\"1772\">A space and time to tell the \u201cstories\u201d of special, unique beings, Teachers and Masters who have marked my path, allowing me to know, to understand, to learn, and to reflect, in order to become a more self-aware woman, present to herself and an active part of a society increasingly ego-driven, superficial, and performative.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1774\" data-end=\"2205\">Each work is woven together with those who inhabit my present \u2014 in presence or in \u201cco-presence,\u201d as Aldo Capitini would say \u2014 and who have chosen to live by building and defending the idea of community, of peace, of a respectful and conscious spirituality, of a politics that cares for and thinks of the well-being of everyone, with special attention to the most fragile, marginalized, oppressed, poor, and often forgotten souls.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2207\" data-end=\"2567\">I assembled bark and dry branches with iron and threads to (re)compose, (re)generate, what the human eye sees as awkward, worthless scraps.<br data-start=\"2346\" data-end=\"2349\" \/>I joined, sewed, and tied different materials because their weave, their difference, gave rise to something else \u2014 and the beauty of the work is not the destination, but the opportunity for interlacing and encounter.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2569\" data-end=\"3233\">I worked fabrics, shaped molds, kneaded colors and powders to accompany every single word.<br data-start=\"2659\" data-end=\"2662\" \/>With gratitude and emotion, I brought this project to completion to remember and give thanks \u2014 through art and above all through personal study, indispensable for lifelong learning \u2014 to those who taught me a way of living, loving, being open to the open, to hospitality; showing me a way of writing, performing, working, being together, being in the world without being <em data-start=\"3032\" data-end=\"3036\">of<\/em> the world, weaving relationships, building possible communities, believing in every creature in conjunction with the whole of Creation and every existential sphere: animal, vegetal, and mineral.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3235\" data-end=\"3270\"><em data-start=\"3235\" data-end=\"3268\">Tessiture\u2026 Tessiture for peace.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3059,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[48],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-2777","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-courtyard","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.al3vie.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/2777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.al3vie.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.al3vie.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.al3vie.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2777"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.al3vie.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3059"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.al3vie.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2777"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.al3vie.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=2777"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.al3vie.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=2777"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.al3vie.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=2777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
