The Page, the Body, the Stage
Motelsalieri (ß) Never definitive version of School of Fashion and Uncreative Practices, Milan
Thanks to an invitation by Alessia Prati (dance scholar) and Annamaria Ajmone (artist-choreographer), Books on the Move is delighted to be hosted by Motelsalieri for two days of encounters around movement and publishing practices.
Please join us for this beautiful event.
The program unfolds at the intersection of publishing, performance, and the body, where editorial practices leave the page to become movement, gesture, and even garments. Over two days, artists, choreographers, and publishers come together through workshops, an exhibition, a bookstore, and performances, opening spaces for embodied readings and collective encounters. By translating text into action, sound, and wearable forms, the invited projects expand publishing beyond print, tracing new possibilities of how bodies can carry, transmit, and reimagine knowledge.
