Una giornata col gatto Mazinga
Chi l'ha detto che i gatti trascorrono la giornata in ozio? Ispirata dal geniale lavoro di Pejk Malinovski, che a Varanasi ha seguito una mucca per un'intera giornata, io, chiusa in casda durante il COVID, ho provato a documentare un'intera giornata del mio gatto Mazinga, e me ho fatto un audiodocumentario per Radioforme, il programma che presentavo su Radio Antidoto. Radio Antidoto è il racconto delle persone in isolamento forzato in Europa per affrontare insieme l'isolamento da COVID. Una radio web a struttura orizzontale. Inventarsi contenuti mentre si è chiusi a casa da settimane. [25/03/2020]
