Workshop Dario Biancullo & Jupi
As part of the first chapter of La Becque’s new public research project exploring archives as living, embodied, and relational forms of transmission, Dario Biancullo and Jupi, members of the Naples-based collective KORYBASS, led a participatory workshop centred on the traditions, rituals, and forms of sociability surrounding the femminielli, an ancient non-binary figure in Neapolitan culture.
Conceived as a space for transmission and collective experimentation, the workshop brought together oral histories, personal narratives, and cultural references before inviting participants to write texts, poetic fragments, and slogans inspired by the discussion. These were then translated onto fabric through stencil printing, resulting in a series of collectively produced textile pieces. Rooted in the idea that certain histories are preserved through embodied practices rather than institutional archives, the workshop proposed a shared exploration of memory, language, and collective making. The day concluded with a listening session by NZIRIA, extending these reflections through music and collective listening.
La Becque’s public program is supported by the City of La Tour-de-Peilz, Loterie Romande, the Coromandel Foundation, the Philanthropique Famille Sandoz Foundation, and Pensimo Fondsleitung AG.
