On Tuesday 26 September, at 18 pm, the councilor for civic services Gaia Romani will speak at the inauguration, at the Shoah Memorial, of the exhibition “The memory of objects. Lampedusa, 3 October 2013. Ten years later”, born from an idea of RAI journalist Valerio Cataldi and Giulia Tornari, President of the cultural association Zona.
Ten years after the Lampedusa shipwreck, the exhibition brings together some objects belonging to the migrants and unpublished portraits of the survivors and relatives of the victims, but also video and audio documentation and testimonies. Through sunglasses, watches, cell phones and photos taken by photographer Karim El Maktafi, the exhibition recalls the first great tragedy in the Mediterranean, when 368 women, men and children lost their lives while trying to reach Europe from Eritrea.
"The memory of objects", sponsored by City of Milan, will remain open to the public until October 31st.
