Mission Statement
"to involve asylum seekers and refugees, housed in reception centres, in music improvisation workshops coordinated by them within their own reception centres" (Della Puppa and Storato, 2021).
Activities
music improvisation workshops: "Each workshop, consisting of two or three meetings, is aimed at creating a temporary band and, therefore, working towards a live performance, outside the reception centre. Usually, improvisation starts from the sounds that asylum seekers have on their cell phones (ringtones, music samples, video soundtracks and,sometimes, music tracks they composed in the country of origin), to make sound creation possible using common and easy to find instruments and to underline the fundamental role that mobile phones play in the lives of refugees and asylum seekers." (Della Puppa and Storato, 2021).
