No One Stayed Still: BLPSA’s “Tonight We Gotta Footloose!”

The lights dimmed, the first beat dropped, and for two hours, no one stayed still. With “Tonight We Gotta Footloose!”, BLPSA turned Roentgen’s Aula Magna into something far bigger than a school stage: a space filled with movement, music, and the kind of energy that refuses to sit quietly.

Tra i Leoni n. 111, May 2026

Every revolution begins with a road. Revolutionary Roads grows from this idea: that change is not a sudden moment, but a path shaped by everyday choices, words, practices, and direction. Revolution is discipline. It is a practice. It is something we return to, again and again. In this issue, we move through the spaces where revolution takes form, across institutions, images, streets, culture, and within ourselves.

Talkin’ bout (a) Revolution: An Evening Where Change Felt Quiet and Possible

What does it mean to speak of revolution today? Not a rupture, but a process: uncertain, plural, unfolding through language and everyday shifts. Change resists spectacle: it emerges through hesitation and dialogue, quietly reshaping what can be thought, said, and lived. Long before it ever becomes visible in the streets.

Believing in nothing, and why it makes us violent

Contemporary terrorism is no longer driven by structured ideologies, but by a radical form of nihilism that finds its ultimate purpose in violence itself. From online communities that fuel desensitisation to attacks conceived as viral performances, a scenario emerges in which subversion and chaos become ends in themselves, stripped of any political project. But what happens when destruction loses all purpose and turns into a language? In this new article from the “Strong Words” column, Pietro Cattaneo analyses the phenomenon of Nihilistic Violent Extremists, exploring its cultural and digital roots while questioning the role of the media in an ecosystem that risks amplifying its reach.

Artista, fotocamera, soggetto: un ritratto del rapporto individuo – società 

Articolo in collaborazione con L'Eclisse. Da sempre gli artisti hanno rappresentato il rapporto individuo-società e l'arte ci permette di coglierne i mutamenti. Indaghiamo come questa relazione si presenti nell'epoca contemporanea, osservando gli spazi privati e pubblici immortalati nelle fotografie di Menno Aden e Christopher Herwig.
di Elena Floris e Alice Di Terlizzi L’essere umano è sempre stato oggetto di studio degli artisti: prendendo in considerazione come il rapporto di uomini e donne con la società cambi continuamente, l’artista si avvicina ad esaminare i fenomeni…

Fashion is Art

The Met Gala returns with the theme “Fashion is Art”, turning the red carpet of New York City into a space where clothes become means of expressions: not just a series of dresses, but a reflection of our society.
Every first Monday of May, New York briefly shifts its focus. The steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art transform: from being just an entrance to becoming a stage to be observed, photographed, interpreted. The Met Gala is often reduced to what we see the…

Are Literature and Technology Mutually Exclusive? 

Humanity subjects individuals to ever evolving world dynamics, that follow the wave of progress which now comes under the form of increasing technology use. However, does tech reliance come with a parallel abandonment of literature reading? Or will people be able to take advantage of AI use while still recognizing the 'outdated' enjoyability of authors' creativeness?
The world humans have come to coexist within is as multifaceted as it is ever evolving, since it follows the direction of human development while implicitly establishing the canons according to which human life should be molded. Considering the inescapably pervasive…
