Artists Book: All the Things I Wanted to Tell You by Savina Ražnatović and Michele Riedel Cusolito (2026)
All the Things I Wanted to Tell You is a collaborative project featuring a durational performance, video documentation, and an artist's book by Savina Ražnatović and Michele Riedel Cusolito. Sitting across from one another, the artists exchange handwritten, unedited notes to explore presence, care, and emotional vulnerability in contrast to instantaneous digital communication. By keeping the written words private from the audience, the work leaves behind only the visible traces of their exchange—gestures, silences, and facial expressions.

Photo by Ana Mitrovic
Pristan is a project featuring a traditional wooden boat (čun) and video documentation of a performative action set in Lake Skadar, Montenegro.

K.A.M.I. (2025)
Photo by Luka Mavri
K.A.M.I. is a participatory performance and site-specific installation inspired by the traditional Montenegrin guvno (a circular stone gathering space) and the Japanese word kami (meaning both sacred force/deity 神 and hair 髪). Dressed in black mourning attire (korota) as an embodiment of the strength, endurance, and sacrifice of historic Montenegrin women, artist Savina Ražnatović sits within a reconstructed circular structure to perform a simple ritual—combing her hair and leaving what falls onto a central postament as a shared, spiritual offering to the collective.

Il Segreto by Annamaria Ajmone (2024)
Photo by Sara Sassi
Il Segreto by Annamaria Ajmone (Palazzo Strozzi) is a contemporary dance performance driven by dancers whispering secrets to one another. The inaudible vocal exchange shapes their physical movements and spatial organization, keeping the audience simultaneously included and excluded. The piece honors oral transmission—historically used by women, healers, and suffragettes—as a powerful tool for survival, community-building, and change.
