Le radici non sono il passato
Viaggio, diaspora e il diritto di tornare senza tornare indietro
Millions of people live far from the place where they were born. Millions of descendants look for a home, an archive, a surname on the other side of the sea. Roots travel can become the consumption of nostalgia, or an education in reciprocity. It can turn a community into a stage set, or recognise it as a subject.
Born in Damascus within a Palestinian story and now an Italian citizen, Ammar Shawesh moves through uprooting, the critique of roots, the economy of return and the Mediterranean, to reach simple and demanding questions: who decides, who gets paid, and what remains in the place when the traveller leaves?
Roots are not the past. They are the way the future stops being blind.
