Love with Obstacles/ Amor Rojo is a publication gathering and organising the research done in the last two years on the figure of Alexandra Kollontai; it is a springboard for a filmproject to be completed in 2021; and it is the publication of a solo exhibition in Rose Art Museum Waltham (MA, US -opening February 2020). This publication is conceived as a reader: a collection of original texts written by invited authors that serves as a companion (giving context, background, and structure) to the exhibitionand to the film project.
