TRAME, feeling at home: a journey through identity and memories
The aroma of coffee, a familiar sound, a person to come back to. Sometimes it takes very little for the word home to take shape. Tomorrow, Wednesday, November 4, 2026, we will meet again at the City of Turin’s Intercultural Centre for the second Scritture plurali session, part of TRAME di Voci e Immagini. Our identities and the memories that make us feel at home will be at the heart of the afternoon.
The thread continues, from the name to the house
After the questions about one's name and the three things to pack in one's suitcase , the journey continues with another question close to everyone's life: what does home mean to me?
This is the thread of TRAME di Voci e Immagini , the project curated by TRAME Impresa Sociale and FACEWORK that intertwines writing, multimedia storytelling, and theater. It's an opportunity to connect through stories, find your own words, and listen to those of others.
In every person, more than one story
We'll start with an open-ended sentence: "I am... and I'm not just..." A passion, a skill, a connection can add something to the way we present ourselves. The words we use to define ourselves leave room for other words, for other aspects of ourselves we wish to share.
"I am an artist and not just a migrant." This phrase invites us to look at people through what they can do, what they love, and what they want to say. Tomorrow will be a starting point for finding our own way to complete that thought, with each person's time and words.
Home, for me, is…
Home can be a place, an object, a person. It can emerge in the memory of a room or a bond with someone; it can take shape in something small, which for us has a precise meaning.
We'll try to start from here: "Home for me is..." Choosing an object, describing a place, thinking of a person will be different ways to approach the same word. Everyone can choose what to focus on in their story and what to share with the group.
The house of the five senses
Memory also comes through the senses. The doorbell ringing to announce an arrival, the smell of milk and coffee, a spicy flavor, the television, the softness of dough: sounds and sensations can transport us back to a moment, a habit, someone.
During the session, we will search for our home through five words: sound, scent, taste, image, sensation . We will let our memories suggest where to begin. What for one person is an everyday detail, for another can become the beginning of a story worth listening to.
An afternoon to talk and listen
November 4 will be another step in "Scritture plurali": a time dedicated to words, images, and encounters with others. From self-expression to the meaning of home, we will continue to explore what makes each experience personal and what allows us to recognize ourselves in someone else's.
We'll meet at the Intercultural Center of the City of Turin. The journey continues through the TRAME program and the accompanying diary, one meeting after another.
