Listening to Italian Colonialism

Gianpaolo Chiriacò and Francesca Moretti in conversation with Karima2G and Luca Neves

Archival songs as a cue for discussion and confrontation among scholars, artists, musicians and activists. A collective listening practice, aimed at the songs that accompanied the Italian colonial project, and that today reveal how sounds can (re)write history and at the same time reveal deep connections with modernity. During the talk, Italian songs from the colonial period will also be analyzed from the point of view of means of diffusion and media impact and recontextualized - through reflections and narratives - by Karima 2G and Luca Neves. Coordinators: Francesca Moretti and Gianpaolo Chiriacò.
