The artist Viola Leddi and the researcher Camilla Paolino have invited a group of artists, writers, poets, archivists, historians, curators, activists and friends from Rome and its surroundings to take part in the Effe Reading Club, a reading group formed around several original copies of effe, the historic feminist counter-information magazine published in Italy between 1973 and 1982, which were found in the Milan studio-apartment of Viola’s great-aunt.

The Effe Reading Club invites the public to attend a performative, choral presentation of the encounter that emerged from this reading group across generations. During the event, readings are performed aloud of texts written by the participants, excerpts from effe, and selected fragments from other family archives.

With the participation of: Diletta Bellotti, Pia Candinas, Marta Federici, Laura Fortini, Allison Grimaldi Donahue, Viola Lo Moro, Ginevra Ludovici, Giovanna Olivieri, and more to be announced.
