Overview

Brigantinas by Nicola Lo Calzo is a poetic and political journey through Sardinia’s landscapes of resistance. The book weaves together photography, archival research, and historical reflection to uncover a genealogy of struggles—from 19th-century peasant revolts to contemporary feminist and environmental movements. Lo Calzo approaches the island not as a postcard of identity, but as a living archive of dissent and reappropriation. Through his lens, Sardinian women—peasants, activists, mythic figures—emerge as central protagonists of an alternative narrative, where land, body, and memory intersect. Both critical and lyrical, Brigantinas questions the mechanisms through which tradition and power shape representation, while celebrating collective resilience and the subaltern imagination. The result is a powerful counter-history of Sardinia—rooted in its past, urgent in its present, and universal in its call for dignity and self-determination.
