ASMARINA - A special screening

Explore Italy’s multicultural heritage with the special screening of ASMARINA

Asmarina is a powerful documentary that explores the lives of Eritrean and Ethiopian communities in Milan. Through personal testimonies and archival materials, Asmarina reveals the profound connections between migration, identity, and Italy’s colonial past, shedding light on an often-overlooked chapter of Italian history.

Following the screening, director Medhin Paolos will join us virtually for an insightful conversation exploring the past, present, and future of East African diasporas.
