Cultural festivals in Italy focus on LGBTQIA+ rights and migration
Several cultural festivals in Italy are focusing on social issues and human rights. In Specchia, the Discorsi Mediterranei festival is hosting events from October 10 to 11. This edition centers on queer lives, rights, and resistance, examining how discrimination and marginalization function within the Salento region and the broader Euro-Mediterranean space.
In Lequile, the second edition of the “Di Libri e di Luna” festival is exploring migration through literature and cinema. Scheduled for October 9, the program includes a book presentation regarding Mediterranean migration journeys and a screening of the documentary “Cutro, Calabria, Italia,” featuring a live debate with director Mimmo Calopresti. The festival aims to provide a human dimension to migration statistics through storytelling.
