And the barbarians took back the word

interview of Laura Gargiulo to the libertarian photographic collective Fuoritema

He was born in Sardinia, a quarterly photojournalism who wants to be "on the wrong side". Here they explain why and how.

 

In a society where reality and its fractures are told almost exclusively through the narratives of power and filters, the experiences of self-narrative becomes increasingly important and valuable. Not only because they offer a different insight on the struggles and contradictions in social action, but mainly because they represent a form of re-appropriation of what seems to us that the state removed: the word.
What in ancient times marked the split between the civilized and the barbarian, what once was the logos, it is now possible to tell what's around you, questioning the reconstructions appear neutral but in reality all too functional to the interests of State.
Not only that rid the language of the rulers, means to create a communication shared by those who are united by a condition of subordination, but also of otherness from the exploiters of every age. To strengthen that language, adopt new storytelling tools and regain the lost now seems necessary to ensure that it struggles to tell themselves.
That's why we make room for the experience of Fuoritema, libertarian collective that overlooks the scene from Cagliari with a quarterly anarchist of photojournalism from military bases, water management, from radar to the Roma camps to the places of imprisonment says "no claim no objectivity, but with the awareness of being on the wrong side. "
