Spazio Disponibile – Italian for ‘available space’ addresses the neglected histories of Italian colonialism in Northeast Africa. The project triangulates colonial and migratory spaces in Eritrea, Italy, and Canada, complicating transnational maps of mobility and prompting questions about excluded memories. The project transforms archival materials collected over seven years, including maps, postcards, and photographs, to signal fractured and fabricated histories. The result is a multimedia installation of screenprints, photographs, sculptural works, a multi-channel film, and a sound. These works focus on built forms, including architecture, industries, and infrastructures to study how built forms visualize cultural ideologies.
