Embedded in the language of visual and sound poetry, the practice of Tomaso Binga (Bianca Pucciarelli Menna, born in Salerno in 1931) is based on an ironic, insightful questioning of the idea of gender: not only a generator of identity, but also a way of looking afresh at the social roles, rights and opportunities traditionally available to women. This monograph edited by Eva Fabbris, Lilou Vidal and Stefania Zuliani, explores her work through a specific lexicon (Agora, Biographies, the Corporeal Nature of the Word, Correspondences, Geographies, Vaginal Value), and also features a selection of unpublished poems by the artist.
