Post Disaster About

POST DISASTER (Gabriele Leo, Gabriella Mastrangelo, Grazia Mappa, Peppe Frisino) is an interdisciplinary collective whose practice intersects spatial, performative and curatorial actions. Their research uses the metaphor of disaster as a local lens to investigate territories in relation to global dynamics and tensions.

In 2018 they started POST DISASTER ROOFTOPS, a long term project staged on the rooftops of Taranto, an industrial city in southern Italy that is going through a long-term environmental, social and economic crisis.. Through the lens of the city, the practice-based investigation addresses the role of extraction/production processes in relation to a wider mediterranean context.

Their work has been exhibited at independent platforms and cultural institutions such as Biennale di Venezia, Triennale Milano, Cà Foscari University – Venice, Fondazione Matera-Basilicata 2019, Malta Art Biennale.
