“Movement” explores human mobility in the Mediterranean and beyond, from the interwar period to the present (1920-2020), through a series of lectures, concerts, film screenings, and a digital platform for archival and live material that will be simulcast throughout the festival.

From 1920 on, wars, colonialism, deteriorating economic conditions and the pursuit of a better way of life, the acceleration of technological change, and environmental disasters have played a decisive role in the mass movement of people.

The phenomenon of human mobility, which is as old as humanity itself, leads us to a conclusion: Human life cannot be detached from the freedom of movement, which is an indispensable precondition for the free and necessary exercise of humanity’s creative and productive capacity.

Forensic Architecture and Forensic Oceanography will be showing the works: Sea Watch vs the Libyan Coastguard and The Seizure of the Iuventa.
