The future is constantly expanding and our dreams are struggling to grasp it. Whether it’s running away from the insecurity of war, seeking economic opportunity elsewhere, defending one’s home from the investments of multinational corporations, or the endemic flight from ourselves (escapism), questioning the meaning of home makes us reflect on our identity and the hopes for our families.
This is a teaser trailer of the ongoing research.

Alen is an eight years old Kurdish kid who had to flee from his hometown because of Daesh’s occupation.

The video was shot in the Ashti IDPs camp of Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan, and it’s part of UPP Italian national fundraising campaign in favour of Iraqi kids war victims.

I’ve spent several years working closely with some key contexts that have been widely discussed over the last decade and yet largely misrepresented, like refugee and IDP camps. It goes without saying that reality is far removed from any mainstream narrative. Çavên — meaning ‘eyes’ in Kurdish — is a non-narrative step closer to the reality of those whose lives are repeatedly misportrayed on TV.
