Cultivating Bridges Migrating worlds: images, words, sounds
Cultivating Bridges is an SUDLAB event in partnership with MeLa. An event/encounter organized by Lidia Curti and Michaela Quadraro, in collaboration with the MeLa Project, Research Field 02.
The vent will present the perspectives and poetics of diasporic writings, with Igiaba Scego reading from her novels, Ian Chambers on Mediterranean blues and Lello Lopez’s multiple installations. The musical frame will be provided by Marzouk Mejiri moving between Tunisia and Napoli, Elisabetta Serio’s jazz, and the visual background given by videos and images on a Mediterranean crossing that is at one and the same time a source of hope and death. The workshop seeks to promote an encounter in which the gap becomes the bridge (Trinh T. Minh-ha), the interval becomes acceptance, and where alterity and difference give rise to reciprocal knowledge.
