ATTRAVERSO I NOSTRI OCCHI, Nicolò Govoni with Mazí students, curated by Nicoletta Novara

Following the delicate fable which comprises the first part of the book, we reveal the challenging living conditions of children and teenagers living in the Samos hotspot, made even more explicit and touching through the photographs in the second part of the book. Fruit of Nicoletta Novara’s photography workshops held in Mazi, and accompanied by texts written by the kids themselves, these provide provide an authentic, sincere, raw yet hopeful insight into one of the greatest tragedies of modern Europe.

EVERY CHANGE IS A BIG CHANGE, Nicolò Govoni 

 

"What is family to you?"
From this question Nicolò Govoni set out to write these five stories set in the smoldering megacities of Kenya, in the rubble of Syria, in the depths of mines in Congo, in a refugee camp in Greece, and even where we would not expect to see clashes and violence coming, so close to our doorsteps. 
These stories have children as protagonists, to whom Nicolo is dedicating his life, and taking us to worlds where protection and normality are still the privilege of a few.

SE FOSSE TUO FIGLIO, Nicolò Govoni

Discover who you are and who you want to become. Take your dreams seriously. Let your kite fly. Be free, Hammudi. Keep on shining. “My name is Nicolò. What’s your name?” “Hammudi” he says, pointing at himself. “Syria.” He flew from war, he survived the sea, but his smile is huge. Nicolò feels that he would risk anything to keep that smile shining. The Samos hotspot stretches around them, a place which resembles hell, in which refugees live in overcrowded tents, without water or electricity, among mounds of garbage. For Hammudi and the other children in the camp, even the simplest things - like playing with a ball or eating pizza - seem impossible. Nicolò is just a volunteer, but there is one thing he knows: he wants to change the world.
