What is the arts’ impact on the defence of human rights and the protection of the most vulnerable?
How does this transform the role of the artist and the spaces dedicated to art?
What is the implication of funding a street-art museum in an abandoned factory turned squat and inhabited by over 200 Roma people in the suburbs of Rome?
What are the motivation and consequences of exposing the contradictions of helpers-visitors in refugee camps?
On Lampedusa’s shores, a frontline where hope and despair meet life and death, can an art project help understand immigration phenomena and their human dimensions?
