Often, they do not learn, do not play, do not move: they sit. The school is a deposit.
What is the meaning of compulsory education? Would it not free education be better, “live†the street and play in the street.
Antonio Mainenti is father of a 7 year old boy, his partner is a teacher and she is part of a collective for libertarian education.
PART II
Have mercy
Texts by John Cheever, Wallace Stevens, Filippo Ticozzi Some voices of human beings remind the idea of god. Kinda.
Antonio Mainenti is a musician and composer. His first sound experiences, when he’s five years old, are made with a red and black Phonola tape recorder: he records sounds of environment, unusual bawls, rattles and improvisations. The tapes have gone lost.
He likes to listen and create noise, this is also his job. He is not good at soldering.
Filippo Ticozzi wrote and directed short films and documentaries, which have been selected in various festivals.”
