Time for Equality has announced the first event of its new cycle “Expressions of Humanity – What kind of world do we want to live in”, taking place on Wednesday 2 October 2019 at 19:00 at Rotondes.
This first event, entitled "Oro Rosso - Red Gold. Strawberries, tomatoes, exploitation and sexual harassment in the Mediterranean", will feature a dialogue with Stefania Prandi, the award-winning journalist and photographer and author of the book "Oro Rosso" (Red Gold), and Pascale Müller, a multi-award-winning reporter on politics and sexual violence at BuzzFeed and Correctiv.
Stefania Prandi's "Oro Rosso" looks at the everyday sexual harassment of women working in tomato and strawberry fields in Spain, Italy and Morocco. The vegetables and fruits they harvest are sold in German supermarkets and all over Europe. The Red Gold project is the result of over two years’ investigation and documentation work, with interviews with hundreds of women working in the fields, as well as with trade unions and associations’ representatives.
The programme at Rotondes includes a screening of the short film “La Giornata” by Pippo Mezzapesa (in Italian with English subtitles), along with photographs and video clips. This will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience.
The event will be held in Italian, French and English. Doors open at 18:30 for a 19:00 start.
Pre-sale tickets cost €9 or €6 for under-26s from https://rotondes.lu/agenda/details/event/expressions-of-humanity-2/. Tickets at the door cost €10 or €7 for under-26s.
