Welcome to MigrArte! MigrArte: An Encounter Between Art, Migration, and Memory
Bologna, Italy - [27.03.25] - In the cultural heart of Bologna, SpazioB5, home to the
Honorary Consulate of Chile in Emilia-Romagna, presents MigrArte, an exhibition that
invites reflection on migration and memory through children’s literature and illustration.
From 27 March to 5 April 2025, this space will become a meeting point where children’s
literature narrates stories of travel, identity, and belonging.
With a carefully curated approach led by Spazio B5, this exhibition allows visitors to explore
narratives of migration, memory, and multiculturalism, offering an experience that connects
generations and raises awareness about current social issues.
