"Is it enough to conjugate oblivion for death to lose its hold? Oblivion is no metaphor. Its effects are devastating. But oblivion also implies disdain, lack of knowledge and fear".
"The Somalia are a proud people who assume their own misfortune with a stoicism that is surprising”.
Alfonso Armada
These communities are overlooked by the international political agenda, and so are banished from the sphere of solutions and political responsibilities. In this awareness-raising project by MSF , the multimedia installation Somalia , based on photographs by Pep Bonet, is the starting point for a series of activities, culminating in the debate Geography of forgotten crises , organised by the CCCB. Words and images will be used to highlight the crises that are overlooked today, suggesting the reasons and the agencies responsible, but above all aiming to voice questions about the suffering of invisible communities caught between oblivion and violence. With this initiative by MSF, the CCCB reopens the debate on the most overlooked humanitarian crises on the planet.
