Portami al Confine (2016-2017)
Developed over a year together with the MUSMA, Matera, and the local community, Portami al Confine collects twenty-five stories of refugees, farmers, students, social workers, and older citizens who question themselves in order to find ways of living together.
The boundary is conceived here not as a delimiting line, but as a space in which participants have gathered to share an experience of reflection that is personal at first, then becomes collective, and—at last—involves the public too.
