The piece enters into direct dialogue with his literary legacy, especially his celebrated Historia universal de Paniceiros. In this book, Bello evokes a timeless Asturian imagination, where memory, myth, and identity intertwine. Among its passages appears the image of a man who travels across the centuries in search of Christ, only to finally discover that he himself was Christ. This paradoxical gesture, seeking what already dwells within, served as the inspiration for the dramaturgical structure of our piece. The performance begins from a speculative premise: in the future, poetry has been lost. A man travels through different eras, attempting to rediscover its meaning, guided by the voices of poets and fragments of memory. His journey culminates in present-day Asturias, in Luarca during the days of the festival, where he has heard that poetry is alive and in motion. By inviting the community to respond, the performance turns the audience into co-creators: the man of the future cannot understand poetry unless it is collectively reimagined in the here and now. <img width="1536" height="2048" width_o="1536" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cbb6f415ed454d8bca5fe675c82e93a9af62e731fbc85f4170d098c7161913f7/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-06-at-02.51.08.jpeg" data-mid="238832121" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cbb6f415ed454d8bca5fe675c82e93a9af62e731fbc85f4170d098c7161913f7/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-06-at-02.51.08.jpeg" /><img width="1179" height="1220" width_o="1179" height_o="1220" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/890310794421937b1056eb81d9576a82f50d28c7365abb6c0853222a4c57b0cb/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-25-at-14.14.06.jpeg" data-mid="238832110" border="0" data-scale="99" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/890310794421937b1056eb81d9576a82f50d28c7365abb6c0853222a4c57b0cb/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-25-at-14.14.06.jpeg" /><img width="1536" height="2048" width_o="1536" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c542bec5832b606ed180593dffd57682a7db3e1ff1b53fa08d7ddeaf79f7fafa/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-06-at-02.50.40.jpeg" data-mid="238858249" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c542bec5832b606ed180593dffd57682a7db3e1ff1b53fa08d7ddeaf79f7fafa/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-06-at-02.50.40.jpeg" /> <img width="1536" height="2048" width_o="1536" height_o="2048" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/92fc83bef8eaa547b131a3f8f0292fb053cbd5134b56d7cce23d8c753b30d63f/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-06-at-02.50.33.jpeg" data-mid="238858248" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/92fc83bef8eaa547b131a3f8f0292fb053cbd5134b56d7cce23d8c753b30d63f/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-06-at-02.50.33.jpeg" /><img width="1200" height="1600" width_o="1200" height_o="1600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c86a496c97526f6ad805e08ffa842b01a1ff94f47640637dd7fbf94bfd76fd91/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-04-at-12.14.38.jpeg" data-mid="238832120" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c86a496c97526f6ad805e08ffa842b01a1ff94f47640637dd7fbf94bfd76fd91/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-04-at-12.14.38.jpeg" /><img width="1995" height="1586" width_o="1995" height_o="1586" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/96eb5beb98cab11201974929e7f3be60ff707a94c7ae574bf3ff0bd63892d7ce/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-07-at-09.49.20.jpeg" data-mid="238832122" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/96eb5beb98cab11201974929e7f3be60ff707a94c7ae574bf3ff0bd63892d7ce/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-07-at-09.49.20.jpeg" /> <img width="2048" height="1536" width_o="2048" height_o="1536" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dde2c89366e1cf2739056cfcd4b6a46a3eb6354c186f73ea7c6f8a7d09707888/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-06-at-02.50.28-1.jpeg" data-mid="238858247" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dde2c89366e1cf2739056cfcd4b6a46a3eb6354c186f73ea7c6f8a7d09707888/WhatsApp-Image-2025-09-06-at-02.50.28-1.jpeg" /> https://carlosella.com/Guardare-indietro-al-futuro Tue, 30 Sep 2025 08:32:22 +0000 Carlo Sella https://carlosella.com/Guardare-indietro-al-futuro <img width="4896" height="3264" width_o="4896" height_o="3264" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/18b9f2448b2a269c0b524f199e7808b0909b835acfe0e9962cb3e7e67846dd99/DSCF7972.jpg" data-mid="238835160" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/18b9f2448b2a269c0b524f199e7808b0909b835acfe0e9962cb3e7e67846dd99/DSCF7972.jpg" /> Guardare indietro al futuro Looking back to the future Creative ethnography laboratory Keywords: transgenerational, agroecological knowledge, reminescence theatre, ethnography, collaborative zine-making Concept - Shiftslow Collective&nbsp; Emma Marzi, Carlo Sella, Catarina Simão, Vlio VelemaHosted by - La Foresta Accademia di Comunità In the frame of the EU-funded artistic residency project S4T (Station for Transformation) Link to the zine &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; ︎︎&nbsp;HERE Link to the video &nbsp;&nbsp; ︎ ︎︎︎ HERE Looking back to the future is an transdisciplinary, intergenerational art project carried out during the residency of the ShiftSlow collective at the community hub La Foresta, in Rovereto (Northern Italy). The project brought together ten elders from the Vallagarina Valley, holders of agroecological knowledge and life experience rooted in the local fields and landscapes, and ten young participants interested in reimagining sustainable futures for the area’s rurality. The central question guiding the project was: How can we rediscover and share the situated knowledge of Vallagarina in order to imagine a fairer agro-food system? Over the past seventy years, the valley’s political-ecological landscape has undergone deep transformations: intensive monocultures of apples and grapes, the construction of large hydroelectric dams, and an accelerated consumption of land have reshaped the territory, erasing part of its identity. The project explored the dialogue between three temporal dimensions – past, present, and future – by documenting fading ecological knowledge, reframing it in the present, and co-creating future imaginaries rooted in a shared heritage. The activities were designed not to produce definitive answers, but to create the conditions for visions to emerge – connecting stories and desires, biographies and landscapes, material practices and speculative thinking. Informal moments, such as cooking and eating together, exchanging recipes, or sharing spontaneous stories, became equally important spaces for memory activation and community bonding. As a final outcome, we produced a zine publication functioning as a small affective and graphic archive of the process. Rather than a linear document, it offers a mosaic of images, words, and gestures, serving both as a record and as inspiration for similar initiatives elsewhere. <img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/46463a02cf9d5687b0c27ccd8e34abf22380fe06c8606984ed8161602086094f/IMG_0405.jpg" data-mid="238835167" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/46463a02cf9d5687b0c27ccd8e34abf22380fe06c8606984ed8161602086094f/IMG_0405.jpg" /> <img width="2592" height="3872" width_o="2592" height_o="3872" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e7fd5393ea28f1b202f0e9809a850eca100073c55906da0998ecd0f8409a389c/DSC_0186-copia.jpg" data-mid="238835159" border="0" data-scale="89" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e7fd5393ea28f1b202f0e9809a850eca100073c55906da0998ecd0f8409a389c/DSC_0186-copia.jpg" /> <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/168a17f4df1ad6ebce2c77d9ff107cad040972f70177a6f09ddfcdc66e1b1cda/IMG_5282.jpg" data-mid="238835169" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/168a17f4df1ad6ebce2c77d9ff107cad040972f70177a6f09ddfcdc66e1b1cda/IMG_5282.jpg" /><img width="4896" height="3264" width_o="4896" height_o="3264" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/52694429638349f67ad4a89935773b76f0cdf631817bb71651ce908f20796ba6/DSCF8004.jpg" data-mid="238835165" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/52694429638349f67ad4a89935773b76f0cdf631817bb71651ce908f20796ba6/DSCF8004.jpg" /><img width="3686" height="1954" width_o="3686" height_o="1954" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/76cb31262fc135f51638ac9bad130290f2b539d0d11a2747f9f3dcdffef6921b/DSC_0169-copia.jpg" data-mid="238835157" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/76cb31262fc135f51638ac9bad130290f2b539d0d11a2747f9f3dcdffef6921b/DSC_0169-copia.jpg" /><img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3d76c09bbe2d12820fc9fab14b4a3ffeb1de6c7b07c70caf25c8dd9f6f38db4e/IMG_5590.jpeg" data-mid="238835396" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3d76c09bbe2d12820fc9fab14b4a3ffeb1de6c7b07c70caf25c8dd9f6f38db4e/IMG_5590.jpeg" /><img width="3872" height="2592" width_o="3872" height_o="2592" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/44763e96db6c8826b0fa6cdd33b745a13bcf520a54d1e6a44123d11bd9d3be5c/DSC_0010-copia.jpg" data-mid="238835155" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/44763e96db6c8826b0fa6cdd33b745a13bcf520a54d1e6a44123d11bd9d3be5c/DSC_0010-copia.jpg" /><img width="4769" height="3179" width_o="4769" height_o="3179" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9761e94d2ff1cb7053b12190e8bbbc9e907fa42e1143e704125e3fdd7ef0006c/DSCF7984.jpg" data-mid="238835164" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9761e94d2ff1cb7053b12190e8bbbc9e907fa42e1143e704125e3fdd7ef0006c/DSCF7984.jpg" /> https://carlosella.com/La-sombra-que-deja-el-hilo Tue, 30 Sep 2025 08:32:22 +0000 Carlo Sella https://carlosella.com/La-sombra-que-deja-el-hilo <img width="4592" height="3064" width_o="4592" height_o="3064" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c8d9ad103ba7513a499c6c884868f79bc780f5b78d4f9bb04b61a426763632a5/P1210131.JPG" data-mid="238836245" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c8d9ad103ba7513a499c6c884868f79bc780f5b78d4f9bb04b61a426763632a5/P1210131.JPG" /> La sombra que deja el hilo The shadow left by the thread&nbsp;Ethnographic performative projectKeywords: transgenerational, elders women, memory, ethnographic theatre, dystopian future, collective care, performative archiving Ideation and project diretion - Carlo Sella Dramaturgy - Carlo GalieroArchive project - Catarina de Simão Production - Mari Edgar Production assistance - Amaia Rodriguez Parrado,&nbsp;Ines David Cieutat Pictures and videos - Francesco Bignardi, Francesco Flora Costumes -&nbsp;Valentina PeriniEthnographic supervision - &nbsp;Nuria Timmermann Graphic supervision - Vlio VelemaAn Arraiga, lab of rooted imagination project Hosted by - Sala Polivalente de Montbau, Espai Jove Palau Alòs With the support of - Culture Moves Europe 2024Link to the zine &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; ︎︎&nbsp;here.Link to the video &nbsp;&nbsp; ︎ ︎︎︎&nbsp;here. La sombra que deja el hilo (the shadow left by the thread) is a participatory theatre project created after a long-term, patchwork ethnographic process with elder women (most of them working-class immigrants) living in the Montbau neighborhood of Barcelona. This collaboration became the foundation for a site-specific performance format that is reactivated in each new location through a three-day memory and theatre lab with local elder women. Their voices, reflections, and lived knowledge are the dramaturgical engine of the piece. The dramaturgical framework weaves together lived memories with speculative fiction. The material shared in the workshops is transported into a dystopian future where older women are persecuted unless they are considered “useful.” This imagined scenario exposes the underlying logic of turbocapitalism, a system that denies care, punishes fragility, and erases those who cannot be measured by productivity. At its core, the project is an act of collective re-inscription. It creates a space for elder women to revisit their personal histories, confront cultural silence, and occupy public space through performance. The resulting piece functions as both a political fable and a counter-archive, insisting on the enduring presence and knowledge of those who have often been rendered invisible.&nbsp; <img width="3456" height="5184" width_o="3456" height_o="5184" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9276adf431402e8a0216d9e683ef5ea204ad1937865d4d42abbe8862b88afe61/IMG_9897.JPG" data-mid="238836163" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9276adf431402e8a0216d9e683ef5ea204ad1937865d4d42abbe8862b88afe61/IMG_9897.JPG" /> <img width="3456" height="5184" width_o="3456" height_o="5184" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d129be61ee67a1840a4f157b6b3211790445e34ff358d075f533b1bbb82b3a6d/IMG_9521.JPG" data-mid="238836180" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d129be61ee67a1840a4f157b6b3211790445e34ff358d075f533b1bbb82b3a6d/IMG_9521.JPG" /> <img width="4592" height="3064" width_o="4592" height_o="3064" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3ac59a5890d76fec31550da08044ddd8e0530ad5288135961a1b0864905503ba/P1210772.JPG" data-mid="238836168" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3ac59a5890d76fec31550da08044ddd8e0530ad5288135961a1b0864905503ba/P1210772.JPG" /><img width="3064" height="2616" width_o="3064" height_o="2616" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/136fc3927393e7797f2304a6cea95a81e7224c6440e6098433409ff9cc817ca3/P1210103.jpeg" data-mid="238836178" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/136fc3927393e7797f2304a6cea95a81e7224c6440e6098433409ff9cc817ca3/P1210103.jpeg" /><img width="4592" height="3064" width_o="4592" height_o="3064" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c2e40547024afec2217d5ba60d74f35919e81aedb0875501f41235b517453a43/P1210691.JPG" data-mid="238836584" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c2e40547024afec2217d5ba60d74f35919e81aedb0875501f41235b517453a43/P1210691.JPG" /><img width="4592" height="3448" width_o="4592" height_o="3448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b6bcff99479cdd6f902703974aec206497b098077e02b44e10edfb03ffe077f6/P12100832.JPG" data-mid="238836165" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b6bcff99479cdd6f902703974aec206497b098077e02b44e10edfb03ffe077f6/P12100832.JPG" /><img width="4592" height="3448" width_o="4592" height_o="3448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ce3715d1bbf594ef62fc437ae2e5eb189b0f597c14158a024262b7cc561bfa91/P1210037.JPG" data-mid="238836161" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ce3715d1bbf594ef62fc437ae2e5eb189b0f597c14158a024262b7cc561bfa91/P1210037.JPG" /> https://carlosella.com/Poly-is-topography Tue, 30 Sep 2025 12:05:49 +0000 Carlo Sella https://carlosella.com/Poly-is-topography <img width="1280" height="960" width_o="1280" height_o="960" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a95c39d511ecd068319b92a48e700ff6c977ab071c1b95a5e611e39072a5db66/photo_2025-04-11-00.12.33.jpeg" data-mid="238842046" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a95c39d511ecd068319b92a48e700ff6c977ab071c1b95a5e611e39072a5db66/photo_2025-04-11-00.12.33.jpeg" /> Poly(is)topography Participatory performance in public spaceKeywords: script-based, collective biography, public space, throwntogetherness, collaborative poetry Ideation and project diretion - Carlo Sella Supervised by - Danae Theodoridou Performed at -&nbsp; Scuola di Politica di Torino, Oltre la crescita UAB Masters in Political Ecology Alt-Shift, a Degrowth festival Poly(is)topography - writing collective biographies through reading the urban public space is a participatory performance and research project that explores the intersections between personal and collective biography, and the material and symbolic dimensions of public space. Through embodied exercises, guided storytelling, and poetic writing, participants trace the ways in which their lives have been shaped by, and inscribed into, shared environments. The process unfolds through a series of performative prompts in urban or rural spaces. Participants are invited to select elements from the space that resonate with their memory or lived experience. These elements become entry points into a process of recollection, reflection, and re-inscription, building toward a poetic composition that reflects the collective biography of the group. The work asks: how does space store and shape memory? What happens when personal narratives meet in public space? How do we carry place inside us, and how do we leave traces behind? Each performance culminates in the co-writing of a poetic text, shaped by the memories, affects, and spatial dialogues that emerge. Poly(is)topography is both a method of research and a gesture of negotiation to place, to others, and to the fragmented landscapes of the self. The project has been developed with diverse communities, including elder women in Montbau (Barcelona), international students at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, degrowth activists from the School of Politics in Turin and the Alt-Shift Festival (Germany). An online artistic research article about the project is available here. <img width="999" height="1266" width_o="999" height_o="1266" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/600414b2bede6ca6ebf9c5da1825a5a9432de8d7f5431fa3f05ca55e0c90cff7/8e6ccf4223221379aab3cca394740ad6.png" data-mid="238842513" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/999/i/600414b2bede6ca6ebf9c5da1825a5a9432de8d7f5431fa3f05ca55e0c90cff7/8e6ccf4223221379aab3cca394740ad6.png" /> <img width="774" height="1032" width_o="774" height_o="1032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ae2662e1af9edc8da8b1b51b66d83da31a69fa1a67da8e1f872b82e7d3850bff/b06ca68e62af9b52b9ed9859bb09f781.png" data-mid="238842517" border="0" data-scale="95" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/774/i/ae2662e1af9edc8da8b1b51b66d83da31a69fa1a67da8e1f872b82e7d3850bff/b06ca68e62af9b52b9ed9859bb09f781.png" /> <img width="1500" height="1125" width_o="1500" height_o="1125" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ea5f7a8dd0f66a454740c935850fbcba198f3f42f0347541be8ce5aba4a5206a/tempImagenHZ4Ai.jpeg" data-mid="238846447" border="0" data-scale="94" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ea5f7a8dd0f66a454740c935850fbcba198f3f42f0347541be8ce5aba4a5206a/tempImagenHZ4Ai.jpeg" /><img width="2346" height="1052" width_o="2346" height_o="1052" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/38f435914c6a876df62dde1cfea42d4e86774daee7b324aa798133c788fb2d47/adcd69c2885d5bc3fe326c34347e38c4.png" data-mid="238842516" border="0" data-scale="94" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/38f435914c6a876df62dde1cfea42d4e86774daee7b324aa798133c788fb2d47/adcd69c2885d5bc3fe326c34347e38c4.png" /><img width="1741" height="913" width_o="1741" height_o="913" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7616bed3ee358f06cfac9b0e71ecaaf8d5a50c3c2bbecfaac92e6b6df90b502c/Immagine-30-9-25---15.49.jpg" data-mid="238849443" border="0" data-scale="94" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7616bed3ee358f06cfac9b0e71ecaaf8d5a50c3c2bbecfaac92e6b6df90b502c/Immagine-30-9-25---15.49.jpg" /><img width="965" height="724" width_o="965" height_o="724" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/83ad04f60ec4225c72c7d19b1799a733caef4b45a4e8c6327b2447c2c91aa6b1/7364176dccb3e3ad02de3125dbca408c.png" data-mid="238842514" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/965/i/83ad04f60ec4225c72c7d19b1799a733caef4b45a4e8c6327b2447c2c91aa6b1/7364176dccb3e3ad02de3125dbca408c.png" /> https://carlosella.com/Alt-Shift-1 Tue, 30 Sep 2025 12:06:04 +0000 Carlo Sella https://carlosella.com/Alt-Shift-1 <img width="4857" height="3238" width_o="4857" height_o="3238" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d63b1c62f3fedae38cc74d7a6862b67be14c62e4c023920b9018b11033b6737c/_DSF2080.jpg" data-mid="238851313" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d63b1c62f3fedae38cc74d7a6862b67be14c62e4c023920b9018b11033b6737c/_DSF2080.jpg" /> Alt-Shift, a Degrowth festival Radical pedagogy art festivalKeywords: celebratory, radical pedagogy, activism, building alliances, transfeminism, anti-racism, decolonial, holistic A project from ShiftSlow Collective 2022, 2023, 2024 editions hosted by Kunst in der Natur, Gars am Kamp (AU) 2025 edition hosted by Freie Feldlage (DE)With the support of Funding Fairer Futures Generation Climate Europe SüdwindWebsite: https://www.altshiftfestival.org/ Video of 2024 edition here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JaQh1CEWCE&amp;t=15s I am co-founder and co-designer of Alt-Shift, a degrowth festival, now arrived at its fourth edition. The AltShift Festivals an annual degrowth festival taking place in rural Austria since 2021 and now for the first time in rural Eastern Germany, bringing together 150 people deeply committed to degrowth, ecological and social justice. It offers critical and creative educational experiences focused on climate change, post-growth economies and cultures, global social justice, and activism. It is a space for artistic, playful, and emotional knowledge creation. The festival generates a community of care and solidarity, creating alliances between movements committed to fighting against ecological breakdown, extractivism, the class divide and for liberation struggles around the world. We are hosting the fourth edition of Alt Shift in August 2026. &nbsp;AltShift is a collaborative space where participants experiment with self-organization and strategize new ways for non-state actors to reclaim their voice and articulate new visions. The festival hosts roundtables with movement leaders, where creative workshops merge with artistic practice—painting, theatre, music, and meditation—and political reflection, alongside a rich artistic program with concerts, performances, and interactive exhibitions. A key aspect is our participatory approach, encouraging participants to lead their own workshops, with mentoring support from the festival team. This model equips them with diverse skills, knowledge, and practices to engage deeply with degrowth and horizontal organizing. AltShift’s methodologies are grounded in collaborative and community-nurturing principles, with care and commoning practices at the centre. Through co-creation and experimental learning, AltShift helps participants move from feelings of disempowerment and paralysis to a sense of purpose and agency. Meaning-making through arts, storytelling and emotional expression nurtures hopeful narratives, inspiring participants to act toward change. <img width="3187" height="4780" width_o="3187" height_o="4780" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/017e385e991fe37b303798b73019927728a5b9580d1ce291beae07d3760cfe5d/_DSF1392-2.jpg" data-mid="238853258" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/017e385e991fe37b303798b73019927728a5b9580d1ce291beae07d3760cfe5d/_DSF1392-2.jpg" /> <img width="3264" height="4896" width_o="3264" height_o="4896" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/88d5a1f33b3e01d583284cba19d14cfb348c8b44f6587167b0b303bc5d039ea3/_DSF1366.jpg" data-mid="238853284" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/88d5a1f33b3e01d583284cba19d14cfb348c8b44f6587167b0b303bc5d039ea3/_DSF1366.jpg" /> <img width="4896" height="3264" width_o="4896" height_o="3264" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/19080eb7c8a56add91971fc604147aded3f5b2e2605b4091175e41e375a6a177/_DSF1440.jpg" data-mid="238853350" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/19080eb7c8a56add91971fc604147aded3f5b2e2605b4091175e41e375a6a177/_DSF1440.jpg" /><img width="4841" height="3227" width_o="4841" height_o="3227" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1fa6bdba5b1d50f6b49452a5d0f5193124529552ed23d6c164c1c4de3ec32e66/_DSF1341.jpg" data-mid="238853444" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1fa6bdba5b1d50f6b49452a5d0f5193124529552ed23d6c164c1c4de3ec32e66/_DSF1341.jpg" /> <img width="768" height="1024" width_o="768" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b88ff8cd71ef6759f512c72b633b3c1eeec5ad298c3630b28bccba65e50484d1/D9A7604C-8940-426A-9D3A-0A91DC0F2E23_1_105_c.jpg" data-mid="238855084" border="0" data-scale="98" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/768/i/b88ff8cd71ef6759f512c72b633b3c1eeec5ad298c3630b28bccba65e50484d1/D9A7604C-8940-426A-9D3A-0A91DC0F2E23_1_105_c.jpg" /> <img width="768" height="1024" width_o="768" height_o="1024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2ab8d24bcf9b13745129d05eb2a3d353f650f181c34afd74ae495339326d5ef2/32435D53-4881-4A78-8B2D-6E05D676DDC2_1_105_c.jpg" data-mid="238855086" border="0" data-scale="98" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/768/i/2ab8d24bcf9b13745129d05eb2a3d353f650f181c34afd74ae495339326d5ef2/32435D53-4881-4A78-8B2D-6E05D676DDC2_1_105_c.jpg" /> <img width="4896" height="3264" width_o="4896" height_o="3264" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a62af21726d23046076c2d2b2af8aaca68162b2a89f2e287d62226033a2e30a8/_DSF1281.jpg" data-mid="238853475" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a62af21726d23046076c2d2b2af8aaca68162b2a89f2e287d62226033a2e30a8/_DSF1281.jpg" /> https://carlosella.com/Las-memorias-del-Rio-Aguas Tue, 30 Sep 2025 12:05:57 +0000 Carlo Sella https://carlosella.com/Las-memorias-del-Rio-Aguas <img width="3600" height="2403" width_o="3600" height_o="2403" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5b709970d188e27eba51a0ab8b1a7f1fbcbf4b88feb71377d39e2cf9d1721d78/sunseedb17-17.jpg" data-mid="238858391" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5b709970d188e27eba51a0ab8b1a7f1fbcbf4b88feb71377d39e2cf9d1721d78/sunseedb17-17.jpg" /> Las memorias del Rio Aguas Memories of Rio AguasSite specific water justice performanceKeywords: water justice, site-specific performance, community-based, activism, collaborative zine-making Ideation and project diretion - Carlo Sella Performers - Arratz, Berenger, Oski, Natalia, Lee, Vlio, Francesco, Niki, Anouk, Rosalie&nbsp; Scenography - Vlio VelemaAn Arraiga, lab of rooted imagination project Hosted by - Sunseed Desert Technology Funded by - Teens4Green EU FundingLink to the zine &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; ︎︎ HERE Link to the video &nbsp;&nbsp; ︎ ︎︎︎ HERE Las Memorias del Río Aguas is a site-specific, hiking-based performance I conceived and facilitated with a group of 10 young environmental activists during a 10-day residency in Los Molinos del Río Aguas, the only natural oasis in the province of Almería. The work was created in collaboration with members of Sunseed Desert Technology, an off-grid community committed to sustainable living in one of Europe’s most water-stressed regions. Supported by the EU-funded program Teens4Green and the Germinar-t degrowth arts residency, the project brought together memory practices, collective performance-making, and lived engagement with place. Participants reflected on their positionality as temporary guests in a fragile territory, and on the complexities between water, justice, and ecological collapse. The performance created a poetic and physical search for a drop of water that moves uphill, a symbol of resistance and resilience. Performed during the Festival del Agua, the piece invited local residents, activists, and visitors to join a shared journey through the desert, culminating in a collective ritual of grief and care.&nbsp; <img width="4000" height="5000" width_o="4000" height_o="5000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5c1b15178becb077c5c3a9a1a50068a1e48fd76263e6009e36769f326da06c90/IMG_7167.jpg" data-mid="238858943" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5c1b15178becb077c5c3a9a1a50068a1e48fd76263e6009e36769f326da06c90/IMG_7167.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="5000" width_o="4000" height_o="5000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0f4307e23f37308797ce1190d2de4c2a186ee466ebf3174232c848536707fb53/IMG_7165.jpg" data-mid="238890916" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0f4307e23f37308797ce1190d2de4c2a186ee466ebf3174232c848536707fb53/IMG_7165.jpg" /> <img width="5000" height="4000" width_o="5000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3018766ce59dd71a6ef509581b71a5afc427b549a6d3bdb41db14b4ac108d953/IMG_7183.jpg" data-mid="238890920" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3018766ce59dd71a6ef509581b71a5afc427b549a6d3bdb41db14b4ac108d953/IMG_7183.jpg" /><img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e7ceb95189afdff1de12ed14302e433ed8e5e23e38206eab747a791491c5cef0/IMG_7148.jpg" data-mid="238890922" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e7ceb95189afdff1de12ed14302e433ed8e5e23e38206eab747a791491c5cef0/IMG_7148.jpg" /><img width="4000" height="5000" width_o="4000" height_o="5000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/973529bf92a40d4d6f5011aa04a79ecb5b7afe8014c7ce8ac4b1b16bac3b41e3/IMG_7158.jpg" data-mid="238890918" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/973529bf92a40d4d6f5011aa04a79ecb5b7afe8014c7ce8ac4b1b16bac3b41e3/IMG_7158.jpg" /><img width="5000" height="4000" width_o="5000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/24a13f41cbeac7be58ebe3d8dec1473c45fa670c0a07f4543669ccbcaa2e864e/IMG_7144.jpg" data-mid="238890947" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/24a13f41cbeac7be58ebe3d8dec1473c45fa670c0a07f4543669ccbcaa2e864e/IMG_7144.jpg" /><img width="5000" height="4000" width_o="5000" height_o="4000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/54378e5221923c770d011186b06c0376354abed60749a14c114443852ed0655c/IMG_7097.jpg" data-mid="238890948" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/54378e5221923c770d011186b06c0376354abed60749a14c114443852ed0655c/IMG_7097.jpg" /><img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/467056358bb39e2c6ecaaef82e5f478d579df1d0992afbe707d4af0b0032808c/IMG_7528.jpeg" data-mid="238890927" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/467056358bb39e2c6ecaaef82e5f478d579df1d0992afbe707d4af0b0032808c/IMG_7528.jpeg" /> https://carlosella.com/SAP Tue, 30 Sep 2025 12:05:46 +0000 Carlo Sella https://carlosella.com/SAP <img width="1280" height="960" width_o="1280" height_o="960" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/db82da70021263408b9040a4773a8625ef4219ae577acc5238c2d72a4924065b/photo_2025-12-20-21.14.24.jpeg" data-mid="242041915" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/db82da70021263408b9040a4773a8625ef4219ae577acc5238c2d72a4924065b/photo_2025-12-20-21.14.24.jpeg" /> SAP (Situated Arts towards Post-growth)&nbsp; First edition - Animalier Societyartistic symposium in performing arts shaping communities SAP is an aspiring recurring symposium exploring the possibilities for arts to open up possibilities for a post-growth future.&nbsp; The meeting, dedicated to sharing community art practices and critically reflecting on working methods in this sector, will take place through thecreation of an imaginary community of animals. By defining the characteristics of this imaginary community, achieved through group work and discussion, critical reflection on artistic practices linked to a specific community will be developed.All registered participants are asked to think of an animal that corresponds to their identity within the work, and to bring an object related to a particular episode in their life, or that simply has a certain meaning.

Project diretion and acting - Carlo Sella Dramaturgy - Carlo GalieroPictures - Giorgia Morriello Videos - Francesco FloraAn Arraiga, lab of rooted imagination project Hosted by - Palau Macaya, La Caixa In occasion of the cycle of health and climate change in collaboration with ISGlobal An impeccable dinosaur, dressed in a suit and tie, wearing a watch on its wrist and carrying a briefcase, presents itself as a speaker for a series of conferences on climate change.After some technical difficulties, it prepares to deliver its talk: through a PowerPoint presentation illustrated with diligence and professionalism, it attempts to demonstrate that there is no need to worry too much about climate change. One should avoid unnecessary alarmism, because if one is at the top of the food chain, there is nothing to fear. For instance, it does not believe in the meteorite. It believes it is an invention of herbivores, who are by nature fearful and alarmist. Through its presentation, it tries to show that climate change is not such a serious problem and that it certainly does not affect large predators.CLIMAX is a performance that offers a parody of the attitude of denial that many people adopt towards climate change. By pushing this attitude to its paroxysm, the performance exposes the confidence of a dinosaur so convinced of its ability to withstand change without concern for the environment it inhabits that it fails to realize it is already extinct. <img width="1620" height="1080" width_o="1620" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/46f9938cb2dbbd149093edee16e84bae754c7e747cf41ab832e100734f94be07/_GIO9197.jpg" data-mid="242041863" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/46f9938cb2dbbd149093edee16e84bae754c7e747cf41ab832e100734f94be07/_GIO9197.jpg" /><img width="1620" height="1080" width_o="1620" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/43c4671bcdea33fd35bdfb85e8b58ee4f1108de0a0f706604eaff158d17f63e2/_GIO9175.jpg" data-mid="242041860" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/43c4671bcdea33fd35bdfb85e8b58ee4f1108de0a0f706604eaff158d17f63e2/_GIO9175.jpg" /><img width="1620" height="1080" width_o="1620" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/90985f14d53253e68e2fb1d446db21f2a53b7d34a602692851cb24b7325650f9/_GIO9171.jpg" data-mid="242041859" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/90985f14d53253e68e2fb1d446db21f2a53b7d34a602692851cb24b7325650f9/_GIO9171.jpg" /><img width="1620" height="1080" width_o="1620" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3eeac5db930a05d8b64fdde67c25031816307b6b8088d0a7f094101e98bdfdf9/_GIO9205.jpg" data-mid="242041864" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3eeac5db930a05d8b64fdde67c25031816307b6b8088d0a7f094101e98bdfdf9/_GIO9205.jpg" /> https://carlosella.com/Tresnjevka-imaginaries Wed, 25 Feb 2026 09:00:43 +0000 Carlo Sella https://carlosella.com/Tresnjevka-imaginaries <img width="4000" height="2667" width_o="4000" height_o="2667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/33763b3f62c662c52aa5c735591cdf5e8f717d25b4be8698b4e8e46a3a97078e/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_066.jpg" data-mid="245312603" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/33763b3f62c662c52aa5c735591cdf5e8f717d25b4be8698b4e8e46a3a97078e/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_066.jpg" /> TREŠNJEVKA IMAGINARIES RESIDENCYA research residency on gentrification in the neighbourhood of Trešnjevka in Zagreb, CroatiaKeywords: gentrification, Trešnjevka, public space, ethnographic storytelling Project direction - Una Štalcar-FuračResident - Carlo SellaPictures -&nbsp;Tomislav Paviša In collaboration with Škvadra collective Hosted by - Trešnjevka Cultural Center&nbsp; A CultureMovesEurope funded project This work was produced with the financial assistance of the European Union.

I arrived to lead a workshop on performance and gentrification, and ended up questioning my own position inside the systems I critique. As part of Trešnjevka’s Imaginaries, I worked with residents to write and perform stories about what is changing in their streets: construction sites rising, light disappearing, parks shrinking, memories resisting. We read our texts aloud in a neighborhood park, turning reflection into a shared public gesture. Between chai lattes in “creative workspaces” and conversations with local activists, I wrote a personal essay on guilt, complicity, and responsibility as an artist moving across borders. The residency became less about producing answers and more about staying present, listening carefully, working at a human scale, and asking what kind of practice is possible in a world that feels unstable (euphism).You can read a personal reflection piece HERE. <img width="4000" height="2667" width_o="4000" height_o="2667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9bd59f79702c61189be7d1423a7367941be34574c1d641e039ffc8a2f78a02a7/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_034.jpg" data-mid="245312586" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9bd59f79702c61189be7d1423a7367941be34574c1d641e039ffc8a2f78a02a7/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_034.jpg" /><img width="4000" height="2667" width_o="4000" height_o="2667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cb72f41a873923680304da07ccb261faea052e8fc4ef6f6f65c895aab19ee130/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_089.jpg" data-mid="245312606" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cb72f41a873923680304da07ccb261faea052e8fc4ef6f6f65c895aab19ee130/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_089.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="2667" width_o="4000" height_o="2667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/983096711e003205c0127d7e33827ddd02a0ef406f1204e7b064a93b37476fdf/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_052.jpg" data-mid="245312642" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/983096711e003205c0127d7e33827ddd02a0ef406f1204e7b064a93b37476fdf/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_052.jpg" /><img width="4000" height="2667" width_o="4000" height_o="2667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d352a937c565e26e7b6ebd3173cd0be0547110f5f95139d5470113d43e347557/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_082.jpg" data-mid="245312680" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d352a937c565e26e7b6ebd3173cd0be0547110f5f95139d5470113d43e347557/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_082.jpg" /> <img width="4000" height="2667" width_o="4000" height_o="2667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6c1270d4799b14e23c558e868b8ffceac77b903214034813b4c9791fc59f8271/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_019.jpg" data-mid="245312649" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6c1270d4799b14e23c558e868b8ffceac77b903214034813b4c9791fc59f8271/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_019.jpg" /><img width="4000" height="2667" width_o="4000" height_o="2667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8242eaf238f72dbc404368e49b09044ea92a7caabd11cad3285208727f7e969e/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_071.jpg" data-mid="245312679" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8242eaf238f72dbc404368e49b09044ea92a7caabd11cad3285208727f7e969e/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_071.jpg" /><img width="4000" height="2667" width_o="4000" height_o="2667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/af0e7618b9ee4e5245e61d3361ba715f012e072395fd86383378b8f1d0907853/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_022.jpg" data-mid="245312647" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/af0e7618b9ee4e5245e61d3361ba715f012e072395fd86383378b8f1d0907853/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_022.jpg" /><img width="4000" height="2667" width_o="4000" height_o="2667" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/319a825692b5c56f58ef7a9443866b291048a4920bf4a3ebbb41eccfef2b535f/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_067.jpg" data-mid="245312678" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/319a825692b5c56f58ef7a9443866b291048a4920bf4a3ebbb41eccfef2b535f/2026_02_15-Tresnjevka-Imaginaries_067.jpg" /> https://carlosella.com/Smell-it-again-1 Tue, 30 Sep 2025 12:05:43 +0000 Carlo Sella https://carlosella.com/Smell-it-again-1 <img width="5184" height="3456" width_o="5184" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ad9e020bf0af31866f19ba9d191c657777b52c344de65889dce45e949905b73f/IMG_8788.JPG" data-mid="242041969" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ad9e020bf0af31866f19ba9d191c657777b52c344de65889dce45e949905b73f/IMG_8788.JPG" /> Smell it again &nbsp; A solo performance on the ethics of waste, disgust, and politics of refusalKeywords: transgenerational, elders women, memory, ethnographic theatre, dystopian future, collective care, performative archivingIdeation, dramaturgy and direction Carlo SellaSupervision María Heras Technical support and external eyes Catherine de Jaroueh Laura Chica Castells Emilie de Bassonpierre Emma Marzi Francesco Bignardi Link to the video trailer &nbsp; &nbsp;︎ ︎︎︎ HERE Smell It Again is an interactive solo performance that explores the emotional, ecological, and political dimensions of waste. The piece connects personal acts of disposal to global networks of extraction, labour, and environmental injustice.Produced for the Days of Climate Justice, Socio- Environmental Movements, and Ecofeminism at the University of Girona, and awarded the ArtCircuit Prize for emerging artists in Barcelona, the show combines irony, vulnerability, and critical reflection. Through a series of characters and provocations, it asks: what do we expel from ourlives, and at what cost? Inspired by the overlooked labour of waste workers, the performance traces the afterlife of objects and materials, linking European and North American garbage practices to larger stories of survival, colonial legacies, and ecological collapse. It uses the language of the body (disgust, decay, leakage, resistance) to question how our personal and societal boundaries are maintained.Adaptable to both theatres and public space, Smell It Again invites audiences to re-smell, re- feel, and re-think their relationship with waste. It offers a visceral, unsettling, and ultimately generative encounter with what we are taught to turn away from.&nbsp; <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/351711114f74de1c7de495dbdf9b47a86c2916cfe0995a0bfcf870c2d4dd15c8/_DSC48191.jpeg" data-mid="242042055" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/351711114f74de1c7de495dbdf9b47a86c2916cfe0995a0bfcf870c2d4dd15c8/_DSC48191.jpeg" /><img width="5184" height="3456" width_o="5184" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b57b6173b5de07cd73d5fca77461a10d72c84fbb460c9663374174127745d411/IMG_8785.JPG" data-mid="242042004" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b57b6173b5de07cd73d5fca77461a10d72c84fbb460c9663374174127745d411/IMG_8785.JPG" /><img width="1080" height="1920" width_o="1080" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e69783ad3519731c8505b9f8b524e14c277fca932a2a1f2a23e8f4a4ece8d2e7/_DSC48272.jpeg" data-mid="242042056" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e69783ad3519731c8505b9f8b524e14c277fca932a2a1f2a23e8f4a4ece8d2e7/_DSC48272.jpeg" /> <img width="3456" height="5184" width_o="3456" height_o="5184" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9276adf431402e8a0216d9e683ef5ea204ad1937865d4d42abbe8862b88afe61/IMG_9897.JPG" data-mid="238839696" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9276adf431402e8a0216d9e683ef5ea204ad1937865d4d42abbe8862b88afe61/IMG_9897.JPG" /> <img width="3456" height="5184" width_o="3456" height_o="5184" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d129be61ee67a1840a4f157b6b3211790445e34ff358d075f533b1bbb82b3a6d/IMG_9521.JPG" data-mid="238839705" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d129be61ee67a1840a4f157b6b3211790445e34ff358d075f533b1bbb82b3a6d/IMG_9521.JPG" /> <img width="4592" height="3064" width_o="4592" height_o="3064" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3ac59a5890d76fec31550da08044ddd8e0530ad5288135961a1b0864905503ba/P1210772.JPG" data-mid="238839700" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3ac59a5890d76fec31550da08044ddd8e0530ad5288135961a1b0864905503ba/P1210772.JPG" /><img width="3064" height="2616" width_o="3064" height_o="2616" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/136fc3927393e7797f2304a6cea95a81e7224c6440e6098433409ff9cc817ca3/P1210103.jpeg" data-mid="238839703" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/136fc3927393e7797f2304a6cea95a81e7224c6440e6098433409ff9cc817ca3/P1210103.jpeg" /><img width="4592" height="3064" width_o="4592" height_o="3064" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c2e40547024afec2217d5ba60d74f35919e81aedb0875501f41235b517453a43/P1210691.JPG" data-mid="238839737" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c2e40547024afec2217d5ba60d74f35919e81aedb0875501f41235b517453a43/P1210691.JPG" /><img width="4592" height="3448" width_o="4592" height_o="3448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b6bcff99479cdd6f902703974aec206497b098077e02b44e10edfb03ffe077f6/P12100832.JPG" data-mid="238839697" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b6bcff99479cdd6f902703974aec206497b098077e02b44e10edfb03ffe077f6/P12100832.JPG" /><img width="4592" height="3448" width_o="4592" height_o="3448" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ce3715d1bbf594ef62fc437ae2e5eb189b0f597c14158a024262b7cc561bfa91/P1210037.JPG" data-mid="238839694" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ce3715d1bbf594ef62fc437ae2e5eb189b0f597c14158a024262b7cc561bfa91/P1210037.JPG" />
