To explore fragility in the diasporic space is, according to Sara Ahmed, «to talk about walls, walls that are built, walls that can amount to an atmosphere, to a gesture, and what's more, walls that are not visible to everyone: to those who do not come against them, the walls do not become apparent».

The speakers of this conference will weave microhistories of estrangement and explain their own peculiar strategies for survival from their own embodied experiences. In constant dialogue with the audience, they will reveal those secret survival skills that perpetuate themselves, that assert themselves, that become obsolete and renovate themselves in the vertigo of everyday life and domestic space.
