Blackn[è]ss Festival: A Conversation with Ariam Tekle

A Conversation with Ariam Tekle.

This conversation presents the history and ongoing work of the Milan based initiative Blackn(è)ss Festival. Designed to explore, celebrate, and connect the world of Afro-descendant people in Italy, the festival is conceived by Ariam Tekle, director of a documentary on the so-called “second generation” of Eritreans in Milan (Appuntamento ai Marinai) and creator, with Emmanuelle Maréchal, of the podcast Blackcoffee_pdc. The conversation features Tekle and is a great opportunity for students and the broader NYU community to learn about grass roots cultural organizing and important efforts to shape the Italian cultural panorama.

An event in collaboration with The Recovery Plan
