When was racism born in Italy? Who are the Afro-Italian activists nowadays? Which is the composition and history of Black Italy? Is there any collective memory of the Italian past? On which battle is Black activism in Italy engaged?<\/p>\n
This multi-media lecture aims to offer the audience a cultural and semantic framework to interpret racism in Italy, considering it is structurally and statistically different from American systemic racism, within the larger contest of past Italian Colonialism.<\/p>\n
Fred Kuwornu – Italian-Ghanese director born and raised in Bologna. Works as a writer and professor of documentaries in the United States.<\/p>\n
