THE SAN SIRO STORY EXCHANGE

In certain contexts, the term ‘Migrant’ has become a catch all term. This socially constructed perception of a ‘migrant’ has become divisive in fulfilling political agenda and restricting the integration of the migrant population as their status becomes their identity. The Project is a platform in which people can gather and exchange their individual stories of self. The project facilitates storytelling on a variety of scales utilising architecture as an active storyteller rather than just a vessel for programmatic functions, dismantling preconceptions and educating a community to see each other as people rather than the ‘migrants’ or ‘Italians’ that they are reported as.
