Dance, Multilingual Repertoires and the Italian Landscape: Asylum Seekers' Narratives in an Arts-Based Project
Ciribuco, Andrea
Language and Intercultural Communication, v22 n2 p111-124 2022
This article examines the impact that an arts project had on the relationship between a group of asylum seekers and the Italian town where they live. The project brought together local youth and asylum seekers to engage in dance workshops and video-making workshops. This article combines interviews with project participants and teachers with an analysis of their artistic output. In doing so, it analyses how the multimodal nature of the activities enabled participants to communicate their concerns and aspirations without necessarily using the Italian language -- emphasizing the body as a communicative resource and placing it in dialogue with the landscape.
