‘Lampedusa Day’

19 June'16
- 11:00

conference

The inauguration of the lighthouse by the German artist Thomas Kilpper highlights the importance of the safety of the refugees as they cross the sea towards Lampedusa. And this before any consideration of how they might find refuge there. The Lampedusa Day will continue at the Centre for Fine Arts with a debate bringing together Thomas Kilpper, the burgomaster of Lampedusa Giusi Nicolini (to be confirmed), the conductor of the Syrian Big Band Hannibal Saad and Micaela Casalboni, director of the documentary Lampedusa Mirrors. Karl van den Broeck (BOZAR) will lead the discussion.
