On the shore of Cutro, the voices of Abdulaye, Alex, Hafsa, Moussa, and Sisì intertwine in a powerful, narrative of migration—stories of hope that blend emotions. Through the delicate and expressive medium of sand art, their journeys unfold: from past lives in Gambia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Somalia to their arrival in Calabria, where they find Nyumba — Swahili for “home.”
