Tumaranké in the Bambara language means “leaving your country in search of a better future”. In Sicily, a workshop on image education invites minor migrants recently arrived in Italy to tell their story, using the easiest tool at their disposal: the smartphone. The result is an intimate and surprising diary, a cross section of their life in Italy, their life in the community, their school, their dreams, their fragility and their moments of solitude, their homesickness, their friendship, their inclusion in a new country where, day after day, while learning a new language, they discover and make us discover a culture of inclusion which is achievable, thus laying the foundations for a common future.

Starting from two very famous texts – The Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen and The Gulliver’s travels by Jonathan Swift – the images of the several crossed lands, of the crossed seas, of the desired and feared encounters that have been condensed into two extraordinary hand screen printed books realised in 50 numbered copies.
