On Friday 28 March 2025, from 9:30 a.m., the Department of International, Legal and Historical-Political Studies of the University of Milan will host the International Workshop “Migrazioni e violenze di frontiera. Pratiche del ricordo e dell’oblio attraverso il Mediterraneo/Migrations et violences frontalières: Pratiques de mémoire et d’oubli à travers la Méditerranée“.
The event will be an important opportunity for discussion and collective reflection on the processes of construction of public and collective memory of contemporary migrations through the stories of those who have crossed the Mediterranean. We will discuss traumatic memory and forms of forgetting, listening to and re-elaborating denied mourning, and artistic practices that contribute to the construction of a public memory of these slaughters. We will also address public mobilisations and legal support for the victims‘ families’ demands for truth and justice. The seminar is accompanied by Silvia Di Meo’s photographic exhibition entitled “La Mèr(e) Méditerranée: presences and resistances against the border regime“. The event is promoted in the framework of the research activities carried out by the research group coordinated by Professor Monica Massari (University of Milan) in the following projects: MOBS (PRIN 2020); Tramigrart (PRIN 2022); Memodias (Horizon-MSCA-202); Ithaca (Horizon 2020); Interdiasporic memories and international solidarity (PSR 2022).
The Scientific Committee is composed by Monica Massari, Silvia Di Meo, Gianluca Gatta e Thomas Aureliani.
