Exhibiting artist Rebecca Moccia and Marta Bianchi from Careof, Milan will host a curated series of short films followed by an artist talk.
Developed in conjunction with Rebecca Moccia’s solo exhibition titled Nostalgism, the screening programme brings together a selection of films by Italian artists Simona Andrioletti, Riccardo Giacconi, and Giulio Squillacciotti. Supported by Careof (Milan) and preserved in its archive, these works explore the relationship between governance and intimacy, between the individual and the social body, and the relationship between politics, communication, and human behaviour.
Following Rebecca Moccia’s research, the program presents works in which emotional states are not viewed as purely personal or internal, but as deeply intertwined with socio-political structures. Moving through cinematic languages, the series reflects on how this relationship unfolds across spaces, technologies, institutional contexts, and cultural production.
This will be followed by a short conversation in the Gallery with Rebecca Moccia and Programme Curator Michael Hill.
Event location Information: This event takes place is accessible by stairs and lift. The room will have low lighting and theatre style seating. The talk will take place on the ground floor in the Gallery where there will be sound, video and floor based work, and seating available on request.

On 7 February 1992, the Treaty on European Union was signed in Maastricht. Decades later, the representatives of the last three countries left in Europe meet in the very same room, this time to deliberate on the permanent shutdown of their Union. In what seems to be a looped therapy session, the three characters - helped by a British interpreter as a self-appointed analyst - try to deal with their feelings of loss.

The starting point of this film is the album Canti delle donne in lotta (Songs of Women in Struggle) by the feminist women’s movement in Rome. Andrioletti invites five singers to reinterpret the songs, filming them in front of, or inside, monumental fascist architecture in Berlin, Rome, and Munich. The contemporary music and lyrics stand in contrast to these gigantic buildings built by dictators which were used to legitimise their absolute claims to power.
