Tesserae Dialogues #3 – Careri & Romito

Although we haven’t had any formal collaboration, since Lorenzo Romito and Francesco Careri co-founded the Stalker collective and Osservatorio Nomade in the early 90’s our paths have been often crossing, especially through the research of ogino:knauss, which developed in parallel during the same years and within similar cultural backgrounds and political agendas. Nomadic art practices, exploration of the residual territories of the metropolis, eastern and balkan routes, inclusion and participation of migrants, Roma culture, occupied spaces… these are only few of the fields of interest that we share with Francesco and Lorenzo, and that inspired to invite them for a new conversation of our Tesserae Dialogues series.
