BANDITE — artivism
Photo by Mauro UjettoBANDITE is a collective founded in 2023 by Valentina Bosio and Simona Sala, two artists whose research and creative practices meet at the intersection of art and activism. Their work is rooted in an anthropological approach to physical theatre and moves fluidly across theatre, dance, visual arts, video, and multimedia technologies. Their urgency lies in observing and narrating what remains at the margins: stories and identities rendered invisible or forgotten by dominant narratives.
