About this event
The newspaper il manifesto takes over the Garbatella district for three days of debates, screenings, workshops, performances, exhibitions and concerts. This second edition is themed "Sindrome americana", built around US midterm politics, ICE raids and the multipolar world, with guests including Diana Buttu, Adania Shibli, Mabel Lu Miao and Jianren Zhou, plus strands on AI, ecology, labour and comics.
