Mario Badagliacca is a Sicilian photographer who documents human mobility, its culture and constraints. His book, co-edited by Derek Duncan (Department of Italian) Italy is out, contains a selection of portraits of Italians who have emigrated accompanied by a study of objects which they chose to represent their ongoing attachment to Italy. It also contains a series of short written pieces – historical, fictional, academic, autobiographical. Join them to discuss the multiple ways of responding to these very moving images. Mario and Derek will be joined in conversation by the Italian-American writer Edvige Giunta, featured in the book.
Wednesday, 10th November, Byre Theatre University of St. Andrews
