Ritratti
Shailja Patel - Poesie in movimento
La sua casa è una valigia che ha portato in giro per mezzo mondo. Nei suoi spettacoli usa i versi e la danza per raccontare storie di oppressione e riscatto.

I'll be at the Internazionale Festival in Ferrara this weekend, speaking, performing, and signing books. I perform at 11.30am on Saturday, October 4th, then speak on a panel: Africa and International Media: Representations and Stereotypes.

This is only the 2nd year of the festival. Last year's inaugural event was a huge success, pulling in over 17,000 people, and featuring luminaries like Arundhati Roy and Marjane Satrapi. This year's heavyweight speakers include Noam Chomsky.
