The article will discuss the uneven path of the bottom-up Museum of Migration Project in Lampedusa, involving local and national associations, as well as the Town Council. In recounting this failed experience, this text will particularly try to grasp the use and ‘property’ of the objects and personal documents lost or taken away from migrants, the degree of involvement of the subjects directly concerned, and the ideological and political rifts that occurred around this project.

Abstract

The article will discuss the uneven path of the bottom-up Museum of Migration Project in Lampedusa, involving local and national associations, as well as the Town Council. In recounting this failed experience, this text will particularly try to grasp the use and ‘property’ of the objects and personal documents lost or taken away from migrants, the degree of involvement of the subjects directly concerned, and the ideological and political rifts that occurred around this project.
