Dagmawi Yimer: Names and Bodies, Tales from the Other Side of the Sea.
"In July 2006, after a long journey across Sudan and Libya, I crossed the Mediterranean Sea on a shaky migrant boat and landed at Lampedusa, Italy’s southernmost frontier facing the African coast. My talk is a personal recounting of the gruesome conditions endured by migrants as they journey across desert and sea and what they have to endure in order to reach that other shore of an unattainable land of freedom."
