A public discussion on borderlands in contemporary Africa brought together Dionigi Albera (author), Piero Gorza (President of OnBorders), and Maddalena Verrone (Coordinator of the Movimento Migranti e Rifugiati, Naples), with moderation by Leone De Vita (Gruppo Abele). Adopting a multidisciplinary perspective, the event explored the social, political, and environmental dimensions of border regions, reflecting on both their contradictions and their potential to inspire more just and inclusive futures.
