Superoganismo is kind of ‘safe zone’ where people can connect by participating in various activities, including tattooing, live DJ sets, counselling on uncomfortable messages or impossible projects and divination experiences, thanks to the participation of Palazzo Bronzo collective, Paola Volpe Astrology, Gab Marozzi and Erika Z. Galli, co-founder of Industria Indipendente.

 

WITHIN THE ONE BODY OF SUPERORGANISMO,

ALL* CAN EXPRESS THEIR MULTIPLE IDENTITIES, 

RESPECTING THOSE OF OTHERS AND THE SPACE IN WHICH THEY MOVE. 

NO RACISM, NO SEXISM, NO HARASSMENT, NO HOMOTRANSPHOBIA, 

NO AGEISM, NO ABLEISM, NO FATPHOBIA, NO HATE.

 

NO GENOCIDE

FREE PALESTINE
