Industria Indipendente

Born in 2005.
Industria Indipendente is a collective working in performance and visual arts, founded in 2005 by Erika Z. Galli and Martina Ruggeri.

Their research is rooted in language, an expanded form of writing that inscribes itself onto bodies, environments, and surfaces. Whatever the scale or dimension they choose to activate, their works constantly question and reflect on themes such as the unproductive nature of time, the creation of alternative worlds where new communities and alliances can emerge, and the continuous redefinition of individual and collective identities. Industria Indipendente has presented its work, in various forms, in numerous contexts including La Biennale di Venezia, Romaeuropa Festival, Triennale Milano, Théâtre Paris-Villette, Fondazione Merz, Santarcangelo Festival, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Istituto Svizzero, Short Theatre, MACRO, and Piccolo Teatro di Milano. In 2024 they created, for the Almanac gallery in Turin, the exhibition Blue Blue Blue Limbo, a “gymnasium of sensing” through which they investigate body and language, from which they also produced a perfume published by NERO Editions. Since 2018, they have been in monthly residence at Angelo Mai with the happening-party Merende.
