News of December
This month, Lunàdigas’ newsletter is dedicated to the Annotu project, the linguistic archive of voices and stories that collects testimonies in the different variants of Sardinian. With Annotu, we continue to give space to life stories that touch on motherhood, fatherhood, work and language as places of identity and relationship.
Alongside these new testimonials, we are delighted to share the opening of our new physical space in Rome: QUELLE, the home of Lunàdigas.

Rewriting identity, spirituality and reality
Gloria E. Anzaldúa, Light in the dark / Luz en lo oscuro. Review by Claudia Mazzilli
In her latest book, Gloria E. Anzaldúa proposes a physical and spiritual activism based on a mestizo identity that is mobile, relational and capable of integrating the wounds of colonisation into an inclusive and transformative horizon.
QUELLE – The Lunàdigas space in San Lorenzo (Rome)
In Rome, in the heart of San Lorenzo neighbourhood and overlooking a large courtyard, Lunàdigas has found its home: QUELLE. A place long imagined, now a living, open, accessible space. A room all to ourselves ― and to everyone ― where we can experiment with new ways of being together, creating community, sharing thoughts and practices.
QUELLE will officially open its doors on 14 December at 5 p.m. It will be a moment of encounter, openness and shared celebration: the beginning of a journey that we wish to build together with our community.
QUELLE was created to host a variety of activities that combine play and learning, creativity and reflection, fun and self-awareness. It is a space in which to work, but also a place to let ideas flow; an environment that can become a screening room, a gym for critical thinking, an art workshop, a listening circle, a social workshop.
The spaces are connected to each other and give shape to QUELLE’s plural vocation: we look forward to seeing you on 14 December to discover them together, or you can start browsing here
