A series of meetings held in schools to talk about what has happened in these years of (partially) denied right to education; about the absence of bodies and sociality, about pest hunts, loneliness, fear, domestication and digital devices. But also of dreams, unforeseen transformations and collective strategies of survival.

Continuing her practice of visual self-investigation, Sara Leghissa, in complicity with Marzia Dalfini and Maddalena Fragnito, met students from different schools, opening up spaces for listening and discussion from which posters posted in some cities and complicit spaces were produced throughout Italy. 

Commissioned by the Lazzaretto Foundation of Milan and born from the meeting with some students of Milan high schools in 2020, the production of posters continued through meetings and conversations with students that became spokespersons for personal and collective experiences even after the pandemic, bringing their words into public space through authorized and unauthorized posters. 

Maddalena Fragnito’s text returns the chorus of reflections that emerged in the meetings with the students by incorporating their voices and investigating issues such as the relationship between technologies and the body, psychophysical health, the school evaluation system, occupations and the return to school after emergency, the repression that minors suffered as soon as they left home. In response to the strategic indifference of a country experiencing the progressive dismantling of public schools and public services in general. 'The school has reopened after a snowfall' is a claim to the possibility of imagining a different school from within.
