| Sumario: | Our goal, in this article, is to connect feminist and queer critiques of the Anthropocene to practices of queer and transfeminist activism that have had a transformative impact on Italian social and material landscapes. In doing so, our work retraces the ground-breaking role that initiatives such as the Collettivo Anguane, the Collettivo Intersexioni, and the animal sanctuary Ippoasi, have played since the mid-2000s in opening spaces of commonality across genders and species. These spaces of co-habitation have shaped tangible forms of resistance 'outside' the Anthropocene and its divisive mindset by ushering in 'everyday utopias' – places in which new mental cartographies and sustainable practices intertwine. This article, co-authored by an academic and an activist, also inhabits a collaborative, and perhaps utopian, space that muddles the conventions of scholarship and lived experiences.
