Ente di Decolonizzazione

Ente di Decolonizzazione Borgo Rizza is a project by the DAAR collective (Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti) which appropriates, by desecrating them, the architectures of the Ente di Colonizzazione del Latifondo Siciliano: a series of villages built by the fascist regime in 1940 to colonize the countryside considered backward and non-productive and to impress an urban vision very similar to that which was being built in the same years in the colonies in Libya and in the cities of East Africa occupied and colonized by the Italians. Through the Decolonial Assemblies, a direct dialogue is initiated with groups, individuals and associations that critically address the colonial past.
