The Present is Not Enough | Silvia Calderoni and Ilenia Caleo
ICI London supports The Present Is Not Enough, a performance by Italian artists Silvia Calderoni and Ilenia Caleo that brings together archival material and movement to imagine a future where bodies can exist freely. Highly visual with an accompanying immersive soundscape, it is inspired by cruising as a social and communal practice, reimagining the city as a space that can be open, intimate, and safe.
Personal archives that trace creators Silvia and Ilenia’s relationship are woven together with the lives of their peers in the queer resistance movement of New York in the 70s and 80s. Shifting between memory and longing, the performance asks how past intimacies, collective living, and unresolved struggles might help us imagine a shared, more inclusive future. Rolling Stone Italia has described it as ‘One of the most interesting (and necessary) creative partnerships in the Italian scene‘
