We are going to met in our workshop area Tor Sapienza Neighbourhood in the east
periphery of Rome in order to know and understand how Roma people arrived here
and their current situation. We are
going to walk around the area, in order to make students “enter” gradually in
the neghibourhood environment, talking with people in the streets, taking a
coffee with olders in the bar, and playing in the grounds with children. We are going to organize a dinner in the squat
Metropoliz where some roma people families built their houses with people from
other countries. Our based place for
work should be the Cultural Civic Centre Michele Testa, where we finish the
visit making “round circle actions”. The
visit are going to be guided by Adriana Goni Mazzitelli anthropologist phd in
urban studies and researcher in multicultural issues in The University of Roma

January 27 Tuesday
We will arrange to follow roma families in their every day work as wastepickers
and normal life in Rome, wakening up at six o’clock in the morning, taking
children to school, going around in order to get trash, selling them in
informal markets or to the industries. This would be on one hand a
learner-based method of teaching and research, by dividing students in groups in
this ethnographic field work which allows them to understand by direct
experience in the streets how Roma people live the city, and how citizens
interact, or not, with them. On the other hand they are not going to be passive
at all, as they should pay particular attention to continue the collect of materials
that the LAC started in the months before (as just dolls, or just jackets, and
so on).

With all these materials we are going to build an Art installation in the neighborhood
, that reflects on one hand their “invisible” life and work, as well as their
desires. The other half of the work

let a “sign”, a “message”, and also their “desires” to answer to Roma people

January Friday 30,
The program will culminate in an exhibit of this “art work” at the Cultural Centre
Michele Testa. The exhibit will give us a chance to honor the work of everybody
(translated into several languages), while providing a space for Roma families,
and neighborhoods, inviting the major of the city, and the press, to mingle
together in a celebratory forum which put some essential questions about the unjust city and the need of promote new
sharing identities.
