Documentary Photographer and Author from Trapani, Sicily
Join us to hear from award winning photojournalist Francesco Bellina, as he discusses the complex web of factors that shape human mobility along African territories. The result of extensive fieldwork starting with migrant communities, from the first landings of sub-Saharan refugees, to the relationship between communities and Sicilian neighborhoods, Francesco Bellina's photographs tell us about the “humanity” behind each subject, with stories that are more or less well-known.
