ENCATE is inviting you to the 22th ENCATE Lunch Talk.
This Lunch Talk is the last one for 2022 and it will be a special one, as you will read below:
The „Un Tè a Samarkand. Storie in Esilio” (Tea in Samarkand. Stories in Exile) project stems from the need to break down the mainstream narrative and change the perspective on the stories of exile in Italy, moving from a generalizing narrative in favor of a first-person and cross-cultural one. The project is based on the CDEC Foundation’s decade-long experience in collecting testimonies and studying the phenomenon of Jewish migration and exile. Taking a transcultural and intersectional approach, the film touches on several issues (traditions, discrimination, trauma, belonging, etc.) by means of the personal experiences of the documentary’s protagonists who come from various communities and have suffered discrimination and persecution related to their identities, ethnicity, religion (or atheism), sexual orientation, gender, etc. In addition to sharing the condition of exile, what emerges from this documentary is that although they come from different countries and cultures, the protagonists involved have elements, traditions, customs, etc., that unite them: both those who have arrived in Italy less than three years ago and those who have been here for more
than fifty.
