THE PARALLEL CITIES PROJECT
// FUTURE LANDSCAPES
This is a collection of photographs from the Parallel Cities Project that is organized into four programs for the “Future Landscapes” Exhibition as part of the BORDERS festival at the Palazzo Albrizzi Capello. The selected photographs speculate on what it would take to create a future landscape for contemporary migrants where their minds and bodies could truly be free.
This collection of photographs examines the border, barriers, and boundaries that permeate the contemporary Mediterranean migration experience. By interrogating the constraints placed on migrants’ social, economic, and physical mobilities, we suggest that we might be able to imagine a world where these constraints to mobility are removed.
The photographs are displayed as greeting cards, and they are organized into four programs: Landscapes of Place & Property, Landscapes of Homelessness, Landscapes of Work, and Social Landscapes. Each program contains four greeting cards. Each card contains a reflection on a personal migration experience. The authors of each of these reflections are young men in their 20’s and 30’s who have migrated from Mali, Senegal, and The Gambia to Rome. The front of each card pairs the author’s words with a photograph of the historical city of Rome, and the inside of each card expands his text.
