Kublaiklan collective, in direction of a collaborative images

With this imaginative and prescient, they opened the area Okay! in Turin, which is able to host exhibitions, workshops, and talks, bringing socially engaged images to Italy—a convention already effectively established in Northern Europe and the UK. Through a way of sensible reflection, the political discourse surrounding pictures is translated into tangible experiences.

Okay! can be an area open to town and its inhabitants. It will host artist residencies centered on co-creation with the area people. Throughout the 12 months, a curated library of photobooks and publications on collaborative practices in images can be accessible by appointment.

The inaugural exhibition is La Cornuda de Tlacotalpan by Emilio Nasser. Based on a neighborhood legend from town of Tlacotalpan in Veracruz, Mexico, the story intersects with the creativeness of the group. Some fishermen imagine that La Cornuda lives within the Papaloapan River; she is claimed to be a creature who seems and disappears, frightens individuals, and makes use of her horns to hold them away, making them vanish from the Earth. Nasser reimagines and playfully reinterprets this fable with the area people: contributors drew and wrote their very own variations of the story, creating different endings.
