TRAME, a song and a place to tell your story
Some songs bring us back to a person, some stories reflect something of ourselves, and some places hold a memory. These will be the starting points for the third meeting of «Scritture plurali», part of TRAME di Voci e Immagini. We will meet on Wednesday, November 11, 2026 at 17:30 at the Intercultural Centre of the City of Turin, Corso Taranto 160, to continue getting to know one another through what we choose to share.
The thread of TRAME continues
The journey began with one's name and the three things to pack, then moved on to identities and what makes us feel at home. The third appointment opens up other avenues for self-expression: music, the stories we encounter on screen or on the page, the places we are connected to.
TRAME di Voci e Immagini, curated by TRAME Impresa Sociale and FACEWORK, combines creative writing, multimedia storytelling, and theater. The project connects adults with migrant backgrounds with Turin residents through a shared effort: finding their own words, listening to those of others, and shaping stories to be shared beyond the workshop.
If you were a song
Which song would you be? Or which one would you like to be? These two questions leave room for both what we identify with today and something we desire. We could start with a voice, a rhythm, or words that resonate with us: the choice will be an invitation to explain something about ourselves.
The same song can have different meanings for different listeners. Explaining why we chose it will help others connect with that personal meaning, memory, or desire we associate with it.
The stories we recognize ourselves in
A film, a television series, a documentary, a cartoon, or a comic: even other people's stories can help us find the words for our own. During the meeting, everyone will be invited to choose one and explain why they prefer it.
It could be a character, a scene, a way of looking at the world. The choice will offer a starting point for sharing an interest and learning about another person's.
A place, a memory
The third invitation will be to choose a place and associate it with a memory. A road traveled many times, a courtyard, a square: these will be possible starting points from which to find the words. Everyone can decide which place to talk about and which part of their experience to share.
After exploring the meaning of home, the narrative will expand to include places that have left their mark. Listening to them through the voices of those who chose them will be a way to explore experiences different from our own.
See you on Wednesday, November 11
We will meet on Wednesday, November 11, 2026 at 17:30 at the Intercultural Centre of the City of Turin, Corso Taranto 160. Greta Vaira, Filippo Braga and Alessandra Marcoccio will guide the third meeting.
The invitation is open to anyone who would like to share, listen and learn about the project. Participation in TRAME is free and requires no prior writing, photography or theatre skills. For information and new registrations, write to cas@cooperativafacework.it or call 345 2866415.
The journal will continue to follow the workshop, one session at a time. This time, we can begin with a question to take with us: which song should we choose, and why?
