On the edge of the volcano

It may explode, or it may not. Because maybe his is just a threat. Or a warning. What do we do? Do we watch and not panic? Or do we run away? What if we wait for the course of events? What if we study the situation and then try to act better? Not least because we have yet to understand how we came to the brink of the volcano. What if the volcano is us?

Perhaps we will figure it out by talking, confronting each other, sharing reflections and fears, hopes and visions. Propagations Festival, for the fourth consecutive year, aims to be an invitation to dialogue and the construction of new questions, starting with books and their roots in the diversity of the world. With the voices of the authors, the audience and our fellow travelers: the Il Samaritano community of Arborea, the Antonio Gramsci House Museum Foundation of Ghilarza, the Medsea Foundation and the Domus de Luna Foundation.



For the rim of the volcano can be an impassable slope, the closest point to the abyss, the threat of fire and lapilli. But it can also be a vantage point over the crater where events boil over and an exciting flight over the landscape all around. It is up to us to find a way through it while staying balanced, one step at a time.

We just have to talk, compare, dialogue. 𝗗𝗮𝗹 𝟭𝟵 𝗮𝗹 𝟮𝟯 𝗮𝗴𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗮 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗮 𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶 𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗹.
