Seminar “The Mediterranean between myth and fright”

A seminar organised on the occasion of the exhibition Between Myth and Fright. The Mediterranean as conflict with the Institut Europeu de la Mediterrània (IEMed).

The plot of this exhibition addresses the change that has taken place in the perception of Mediterranean cultures, connected by the sea that also separates them. From an exotic and mythical vision to a more palpable and contemporary one, from the horror of their conflicts. Two lectures delivered by two people very familiar with these realities, offer a complex, many-faceted view of the circumstances surrounding the socio-political and cultural conflicts of Mediterranean culture.
