Dafne Boggeri on Queer Collectives, Independent Publishing, and the One-Woman Group Show
Dafne Boggeri engages in a diverse range of activities, including curation, publishing, performance, and queer advocacy. Her exhibition titled "LIANE~LINEA~ALIEN," held at Marsèlleria in Milan and curated by Giulia Tognon, showcased a "one-woman group show" across three venues. The event featured a performance by the UK collective Stasis, Kaisa Lassinaro's book "Born in Flames" (2011), along with screenings of Lizzie Borden's 1983 film and Fabrizio Terranova's documentary on Donna Haraway. Boggeri is known for her collection of normographs, which references her 2004 installation at ASSAB ONE and the 2006 zine "I CAN'T THINK STRAIGHT." In 2011, she co-founded the queer collective TOMBOYS DON'T CRY and organized MOTHER (2009-2011) and FULL MOON SALOON (2012). The fifth edition of SPRINT, an independent publishing fair, will take place in Milan from November 24-26, 2017.
