Graduate Student
Nicole Bonino (Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese) The project I am currently working on, concerning migration and artistic frontiers in Argentina, is conceived to be the first step of my final dissertation "Making Art in Migration: Global Countercultural Movements between Italy, Spain and Argentina". Even though they are silent or, at least, not widely recognized, the cultural movements I am investigating are the manifestation of a reality of repression and a wave of abused voices trying to find expression in a global sense of artistic community that involves not only southern Europe, but also Latin America. Thanks to the CGII Grant, I will be able to participate in the Bologna-Duke Summer School on Global Studies and Critical Theory Program that will help me create links and connections between the political, social and theoretical realities outside of Western Europe.
