Decolonial Walks of Italian Afrodescendants. a Research Video from Reggio Emilia

The traces of Italian colonialism are scattered in most Italian cities. As part of a multi-year research project, a decolonial walk in Reggio Emilia with an Afrodescendant activist as guide was realized in the spring of 2024, which provided the opportunity to reconnect histories of anti-colonial, anti-fascist and antiracist struggles from a transfeminist perspective. Showing the research video born from this experience, I will argue the importance of visual research in the counterpolitics of memory and in decolonial teaching of sociology.
