Beyond Borders: Transnational Italy

A major output of the project was the project exhibition ‘Beyond Borders: Transnational Italy’. The aim of the exhibition was to demonstrate the methodological principles behind the research and to present both past and contemporary examples of Italian mobility. ‘Beyond Borders: Transnational Italy’, curated by Viviana Gravano and Giulia Grechi, used the latest developments in augmented reality to bring the findings of the project to as wide a public as possible – the exhibition has been shown in Rome (October 2016) and London (December 2016), while modified versions have been displayed in New York (2017), Melbourne (2017), Addis Ababa (2017) and Tunis (2018). Beyond Borders appears to the eyes of the visitor as a domestic environment, divided into rooms that correspond to our shared sense of living spaces. The ‘house’ in which visitors are invited to enter is intended, metaphorically, as the space that culture and language offer us to ‘inhabit’ our lives and our relations with other people. An open, porous space, where both the inside and the outside ceaselessly influence each other, demonstrating all the time how the most basic features of our cultural and linguistic identities are continually in movement and in translation.
