Tradizioni migranti (migrating traditions)
 2021

Audio track
The work is composed of an audio track that tells the experiences of some Italian people who emigrated abroad and describes the Italian traditions they kept, with the changes due to the different context. The interviewees are 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation, and tales are told in Spanish, English and Italian, according to the language preferred by each speaker.
The work wants to be a proof of how the concept of tradition is constantly changing, even if it’s considered a national identity symbol. Like identity, then, it is something that evolves.
This work is connected to two different series: “Inciampi” (Hitches) and “Due città un’identità” (Two cities, one identity).
