DON’T LOOK FOR THEM IN THE LIVING ROOM with Silvia Ugolotti, journalist and travel writer.
PROGRAMME:
6.00 pm: at the Sala della Cultura.
“ Don’t Look for Them in the Living Room” is an anthology of stories about women who have never stood still, an invitation to set out, to disobey with grace, to rediscover travel as a force for personal and collective transformation. They have crossed deserts, climbed mountains, challenged empires and conventions. Alone, disguised as men, they turned nomadism into a political act and the journey into a new language. Yet history has often left them on the margins, relegating them to oblivion. Almost mythological beings, archetypes of courage and feminine strength, between the 18th and 20th centuries these travellers, explorers and adventurers overturned cultural and social norms, choosing the road rather than waiting, the unknown rather than the imposed script. The author, a solo traveller herself, with years of reporting for some of Italy’s most authoritative travel publications behind her, recognises in these figures her ‘wild mothers, her restless ancestors, her troublesome sisters’: a personal genealogy that weaves their routes into her own experience, their choices into the questions she too has packed in her suitcase.
