It's well known that on the past few years, Said Dokins has undertaken the project Stories of a Word, where he collects key words that he takes from his encounters with local people to develop his proposals of urban interventions. This time, through interviews, reunions, and activities, Biokip and Dokins established a deep dialogue with the community, where they were able to learn about the history of the neighborhood by listening to the stories of the elders, who told them about the disasters of war and fascism, as well as the new experiences that they’re leaving today, young people and kids also shared their dreams and expectations.
The result was a word assemblage, that included phrases about the place and the names of the participants, submerged in the palindrome AMA (Italian for I love), on the walls of the three of the facades of the residential complex.
