Rastafarians presence in Ethiopia

It’s April and we finished our first video of the trip, “Rastafarians presence in Ethiopia”, about the conference we went to in November and the DVD is now available (at the moment we have just 7 copies)!

We would like to thank: Barabba for the camera and the white DVDs, Miche for the microphone and the DVD serigraphy, Simo for the tripod, Forrow and Carlitos for coming to the presentation and finally Madda for the Glue!

We presented our video last wednesday, during Luca Queirolo Palmas‘ Sociology of Migration course called “Derive e approdi”, held in the University of Genoa, faculty of Education Sciences.
