"We've built a local bridge between our communities and newcomer/refugee artists… We aim to provide them with a space in society where they can embrace their true selves and pursue what brings them the most joy, which is their artistry, thereby fostering their sense of self-worth, " remarked Sergio Roberto Gratteri.

Throughout our conversation with Sergio Roberto Gratteri, we will explore various facets of the project:

• What is the essence of the project?
