An Invitation to Radical Tenderness (2018) is a living text written by Dani d’Emilia and Vanessa Andreotti. It includes thoughts expressed by the collective ‘Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures’ and the artistic-pedagogic collaboration ‘Engaged dis-identifications’, which explores the workings of non-notional possibilities of co-existence through performative practices. With the support of Musagetes Foundation, this collaboration attempts to translate post-representational modes of engagement into embodied experiments that reconfigure the connections between reason, affect and relationality.
