Stories Of Migrant Women

Being the migratory flow is made up mainly of men, the female reality is told marginally and never by the direct interested parties.
This book springs from the need to listen to migrant and refugee women's voices from a direct dialogue (not interview) based on trust and free will.
To counter the hatred climate generated by a one-way narration, I aimed to leave women protagonists of this phenomenon to be free to take part in the discourse as they feel right.
This photographic reportage has been developed from a feminist perspective. For me, it is important to create a space of awareness and empathy in order to break down barriers of race, sex, and social class, in contrast to the climate of hate generated by the rise of the far-right and populist parties in Italy this diversity is presented as wealth.

​In collaboration with locals, Non-Governmental Organisations, and institutions, I explored the faces, traces, and spaces of the female community hosted in Palermo, Mineo, and Scicli.

Each woman has her own reason to migrate, every country has its own characteristics and crises that lead people to face the journey, but all have points in common related to being a woman who makes the difficult choice to expose her life to the risks of migration by sea or by land.

The full body of work includes: the book, an audio recording, and different series of photo - including "Walkers"
