Tomaso Binga and Donatella Spaziani in Rome

Two artists from different generations, Tomaso Binga (born Bianca Pucciarelli, Salerno, 1931) and Donatella Spaziani (Ceprano, 1970), meet in a joint exhibition in Rome to explore the condition of women through their bodies. Binga, a veteran of 1970s feminist battles, uses visual poetry to break with patriarchal society, creating a sarcastic language where the body becomes an alphabet. Spaziani's work, though visually similar, is marked by a dramatic tension between Beckett and Shakespeare; her dark silhouettes convey the boredom of oppressive interiors and a desire to escape a society that has not fully won past civil battles.
