In-ruins launches its editorial program with Volume I of the Archivalia series.
Archivalia extends the interdisciplinary inquiry developed across the first four editions of the residency. Bringing together anthropologists, art historians, artists, and curators, the volume delves into one of the residency’s central themes: the ruin. Reimagined beyond its etymological sense of decay or collapse, the ruin emerges here as a generative concept—an active tool for critique, reflection, and reconstruction. The publication is in Italian.
