Come rendere le città più femministe?

From October 17th to 19th, the third week of the festival Periferico, opens with TranFemina's final International Encounter: three days of practices, words, and visions exploring the relationship between female and queer subjectivities and urban space, from a transfeminist and Mediterranean perspective.

Some of the festival's performances intertwine with this journey, multiplying the possibilities for listening, presence, and alliance.
