Where: The National University of Ireland

Join us in person for a relaxed evening with Igiaba Scego, one of Italy’s most influential writers, as she launches her latest graphic novel Figli della foresta. The event features a conversation between Igiaba and illustrator Chiara Abastanotti, exploring themes such as cultural memory, colonial legacies, and postcolonial identities.

Stay for the audience Q&A session, where we will reflect together on the shared and divergent histories of Italy and Ireland—both shaped by emigration, immigration, colonialism, and complex colonial ties.

This event is open to everyone; bring your curiosity and questions.
