Partecipation by Mu.Ma in the 4th International Symposium "Diaspore Italiane. Italy in movement"

From 28 to 30 November 2022, Mu.MA is taking part in the 4th International Symposium "DIASPORE ITALIANE. ITALY IN MOVEMENT. Borders between us and the others. The right to migrate as a human right. Transits, experiences and imaginaries /Fronteras entre nosotros y los otros. El derecho a migrar como derecho humano. Tránsitos, experiencias, imaginarios". 

The fourth edition of the symposium brings together researchers and scholars committed to exploring the issue of the Italian diaspora from the period of mass migration to the present day. The aim is to take up the debates of the previous meetings, including the diaspora from a transnational and transcultural perspective, to reflect on the historical and current dimension of the right to migrate as a human right and to create networks of studies that further explore the topic on the basis of joint projects.

The theme of this edition "Frontiere fra noi e gli altri. Il diritto a migrare come diritto umano. Transiti, esperienze e immaginari" (Frontiers Between Us and Others.The right to migrate as a human right. Transits, experiences and imaginaries) is divided into 11 panels and features over 50 international speakers.

The panel "Musei e migrazioni: progettazione museale e partecipazione delle comunità discendenti" (Museums and migration: museum design and participation by descendant communities), promoted by Mu.MA, presents the Mei live for the first time in Argentina and welcomes interventions by three other international organisations:
