Conversation with June Scialpi on "Garments Against Women" by Anne Boyer

On Saturday, 24 January 2026, at 6 pm, Lottozero is pleased to welcome writer and translator June Scialpi for a presentation of Garments Against Women by Anne Boyer (“Indumenti contro le donne”, Tic Edizioni, 2025), in conversation with Sandra Branca and Stefania Zampiga.

In a time marked by complex social and political threads, this encounter stems from a desire to connect practices, materials, and ways of thinking—unlearning and learning through dialogue. Scialpi’s translation, which moves across languages and geographies, opens a space to explore contemporary “other” writings that stitch together questions, suspensions, and shifting positions in everyday experience.
Between poetry and prose, between essay and lyric, Boyer’s work unfolds through layered reflections, emotions, and inquiries. Together, we attempt to understand the fabric we inhabit—a fabric that is constantly forming and unforming, shaping and reshaping us.

The event will be in Italian.
