Migrazioni pugliesi, la memoria diventa racconto con Ritorni

Sounds and images to revisit stories of real life.

On Saturday, April 18th, at 6:00 PM, the opening of the audiovisual exhibition “RETURNS – STORIES OF MIGRATION IN APULIA” will take place at KORA in Castrignano de’ Greci, promoted by Locomotive Impresa Sociale Srl ETS.
This is an original and immersive storytelling space, open to the public until June 30th, that offers a reflection on the historical and cultural memory of Apulian migration phenomena, fitting into a broader pathway dedicated to identity, mobility, and social transformations.
The project is realized as part of the Public Notice PUGLIA CULTURE for the selection of projects aimed at enhancing and acquiring photographic archives of significant historical-artistic value in Apulia, with the high patronage and support of the Municipality of Castrignano de’ Greci, the Municipality of Nardò, the Emigrants' Association of Nardò, the U.P.E. – Pugliese Emigrants Union Matino, and Kora – Center for Contemporary Arts.
The creative direction is curated by Flavio&Frank, responsible for photo editing, with video images created by Gabriele Surdo. The exhibition design is entrusted to Ramdon, who defines the visual and narrative framework of the exhibition.
The sensory pathway is accompanied by the original soundtrack “Returns,” composed by Raffaele Casarano (arrangements and soprano sax), featuring Roberto Chiga on Salento tambourine and frame drums, Alessandro Monteduro on percussion, and Carla Casarano on vocals, enriching the narrative with an intimate and evocative dimension.
The sound work will be broadcasted via a sound system within the exhibition setup, contributing to making the storytelling even more engaging and emotional, enhancing the visitors' experience.
