Atlas of Urban Taboos: a new column on FiloTabù.

Starting today, I begin a collaboration with FiloTabù, a digital magazine that explores the taboos of our time, offering tools for awareness and freedom.

My column is titled Atlas of Urban Taboos and will be published every two weeks. It is a journey into the silences of cities: what remains invisible behind squares and architecture, the bodies that find no space, the erased vulnerabilities, the voices pushed to the margins.

Urban planning, often presented as neutral, in fact embeds political and cultural choices that determine who belongs and who is excluded. Through an intersectional lens, the Atlas brings into focus the taboos that inhabit urban space: the invisibility of women’s bodies, the denial of disability, the erased ecological vulnerability, the silenced postcolonial narratives, the queer and migrant desires relegated to the edges.

Writing about these taboos means cracking the supposed normality on which the contemporary city is built, and opening new possibilities for inhabiting it: more just, more plural, closer to the lives that truly cross it.
