The project stems from a historical event: in 1871, the citizens of Paris founded La Commune de Paris. After France's crushing defeat at the hands of Bismarck's Prussia, the Parisians refused to sign a peace treaty that would have devastated the country. They lost faith in the government and decided to govern themselves. For three months, one of the most utopian governments in history was established in Paris: equality, rights, secularism, subsidies, active citizenship, integration of immigrants, feminism... these are just some of the words that resonated in the streets of Paris. Three months of utopia ended in a fierce and ruthless massacre that will go down in history as the Semaine sanglante (bloody week), which will bring capitalism back on track. Fascinated beyond measure by stories from history that tell us of possible (or impossible) crossroads, spontaneous revolutions, brotherhoods and sisterhoods, the Paris Commune embodies the possibility of trying to retrace a path, a flame that has not yet been extinguished (perhaps).

The words we found: The word hope: what would have happened if the Commune had had a different ending? The word impossible: there are people who are starving, who eat rats and dogs and cats (seasoned with the famous Parisian salt). As if they had said: then let's try the impossible. Let's try to describe a world where poverty is defeated. Human misery, made up of prejudice, social classes, power, and privilege. The word war: is it really the only possible alternative? Where, then, is the word "peace" hidden? The word art: what is art? What is it for? And what does it remind us of?
