+++ title="Corpo, memoria e identità" editors=["claudia.md"] +++ Yesterday, during the Reading + Concerto Maditerraneo Blues performed by ![](author:iainchambers.md) and ![](author:mikecooper.md), I’ve pinned some thoughts on my phone. It’s strange to see a white people performing black music and speaking about some Mediterranean problems in a contemporary art museum stage, but I decided to focus my attention on the words and on the music that they said and played. ![Ian](author:iainchambers.md) said: > il suono viene in soccorso al pensiero. And I thought about or if: > le arti definite “minori” e popolari siano espressioni profonde dell’identità resistente dei popoli. ![Ian](author:iainchambers.md) also said: > il corpo di una persona che suona uno strumento non è più lo stesso And I thought about or if is the same for other artistic and craft practices, I thought about a corporal memory of a weaver for example, and probably the answer is: Yes, is the same, the body is no longer the same! I wrote on my phone this highlight: > La memoria del corpo nelle pratiche artistiche.
