cardboard boxes with a few things. And 'the little baggage for those leaving from their land. Few things that are worthless in front of their dignity. This framework is the starting point that opens the exhibition "The Journey of Hope. Mezzanone from Lampedusa to Borgo", sponsored by Caritas Village Mezzanone under the patronage of the Province of Foggia. After stopping in several towns of the province, will be open to Foggia auditorium of Santa Clara until Saturday, April 28. The author of these paintings is Kikoko, Togo 29. He now works on a farm in Lodi. But his journey was long, his country, around Europe and then in Italy, as documented by his works: scenes of everyday life in the villages, hard landing, as with that of Lampedusa, life-changing encounters, such as with the community of Hope House in Borgo Mezzanone, where last October he asked for refugee status and where you gained the idea of \u200b\u200bproposing this exhibition, which tells personal experience, that of Kikoko, which is emblematic of those who leave their homeland and struggling to integrate into another society. The exhibition is accompanied by some photographs and panels with a selection of poems, edited by two other guests Mezzanone, Saki and Omar. "To understand one's own culture is difficult - Kikoko says - but if the other wants to hear everything becomes easier." Basically we are saying the same Kikoko, and indicates one of his paintings: the shadow, the shadow of two children of the same color.
