I’m so excited to be presenting my paper at the Lost Futures Conference! Looks forward to be back at University of Warwick

After opening remarks by the organisers Jacopo F. Mascoli and Silvia Vari (she/her), we got off to a great start with the first panel, "Reframing the Cinematic Gaze in European Borderlands", thanks to the speakers Bengisu Kepsutlu and Matthias Kispert!

And now it's time for our first keynote lecture by Key Dickinson "The Dirty Work of Decolonization: Refugee-Migrant Labour for the Film Sector".

Engaging second panel with Fatma Ozen and Zach Meltzer on "Alternative (hi)Stories of Migration in Sea and Oceanic crossings". #LostFutures

And for today, this is the last panel on "Cinematic Portrayals of Displacement and Transformation in the Middle East", with contributions from Oguzhan Dursun and Hera Lorandos! See you tomorrow, either in person or online!

Another day, another wonderful keynote. This time on comics and migration, delivered by Barbara Spadaro.

And last but not least, the final panel with four amazing papers by Yu Feng, Mokshda Manchanda, Federica Marazza and Driss Faddouli on "Comics, Picturebooks and Digital Resistance in Mediterranean Migration".
