Il cammino di Barbara per Mediterranea: da Bologna a Lampedusa facendo l'autostop

C'è chi macina chilometri in pellegrinaggio verso Santiago de Compostela, confine Ovest d'Europa e chi, invece, s'inventa un cammino tutto suo, puntando all'altro confine, quello più a Sud, Lampedusa, per ricordare i migranti morti nel mar Mediterraneo. Barbara Cassioli, 32 anni, assistente sociale bolognese, è partita il 21 marzo, "giorno simbolo della Primavera" come sottolinea lei stessa, da Livergnano (Bo) e ha raggiunto l'isola il 2 giugno.

Un viaggio rigorosamente in autostop e senza soldi perché lo scopo è ben preciso: tutto ciò che non spende e quello che le offrono durante il tragitto lo destina mensilmente alla ong Mediterranea, tramite bonifici sulla piattaforma di crowdfunding Produzioni dal Basso e raccontando il viaggio sul suo blog. "Grazie a tutte le persone che mi hanno ospitato, pagato cene, autobus o traghetti -

Article from The Guardian: "The Super Rich: Six Things to Know "

America's super rich: six things to know Our new series, Big Money , is investigating the social and political clout of the super-rich. Natalie Jones and Alastair Gee in San Francisco, California I s America an oligarchy? That was the conclusion of a 2014 study by two prominent US political scientists , who argued that the influence of economic elites and big business far outstrips that of ordinary citizens. In their view, America is less a bastion of representative democracy than a nation trammeled by the desires of the hyper-wealthy. Others have suggested that their vision is too bleak. But the outsize economic, social and political clout of the super-wealthy in America is beyond debate - and ripe for scrutiny. That’s why we’ve launched our newest series, Big Money.

A Time For Dreamers Written by Nilofar Mehrin Translated by Nathalie Diss 1998 Via Fiesolana , Florence ---------------------------------------- Je parlais avec William W. un ami qui a enseigné dans une université américaine à Florence. Il était un concepteur de sites Web et avait créé de nombreux sites Web pour des artistes qu’il connaissait. Il avait vu mon studio et mes cartes1 et avait dit: «Pourquoi n'écrivez-vous pas une histoire pour aller avec vos cartes?» J'ai toujours voulu écrire une telle histoire, mais j'ai fini par écrire un poème intitulé "là-bas » en angais. Puis en 2009 j'ai fait une animation de quatre minute. Utilisant mon poème et des images des peintures que j'avais faites, dans une sorte de collage (avec l'aide de M. Khorramian et son assistant M.

Comment: I once found a bag near a shopping Mall in Paris .... It looked like a girl owned it because it was full of makeup bits and pieces and there were a lot of cards in it , one of which belonged to a buisness school and this had her name on it. The student was from Madagascar and i was sighing to myself when i called the school and the receptionist wasnt helpful in finding the person i was looking for.
