2023–2024
The Decolonizing Architecture program (DAAS) is a post-master program run by Alessandro Petti, based on horizontal, site-specifc pedagogy. In 2023–24, the course focused on the concept of al Mashaa’ – a form of communal land use that was found throughout the Levant and the Ottoman Empire.
The work took place in Salento, in the south of Italy, where a group of people are exploring collective forms of inhabitation and cultivation; and in Sicily, where a former Fascist village is being transformed into a laboratory for decolonial thought and practices at the margins of Europe.
Difficult Heritage
Borgo Rizza (Carlentini)
May 6–10, 2024
Andrea Bagnato joined the course both as a tutor and as the curator of Difficult Heritage, an annual gathering that brought together DAAS, the Royal College of Art in London, and the city of Carlentini. Set in a former Fascist village near Siracusa, the week-long intensive program consisted of collective learning, walks, assemblies, and performance.
Participants included Sandi Hilal, Alessandro Petti, Emilio Distretti, Judith Wielander, Luigi Coppola, Pelin Tan, Cooking Sections, Matteo Lucchetti, Ana Maria León, Agostino Quaranta, and more.
