Crossroads: Cultures in Motion
A project I have nurtured for a long time: the dream of traveling freely aboard a 4x4 vehicle, expertly modified to tackle any terrain while serving as a space to sleep and work. Alongside me, a multi-ethnic team ready to seize the moment and narrate it through the lens of their unique cultural and professional backgrounds. This is how Crossroads: Cultures in Motion was born.
The Journey Begins
We set off from Durban, South Africa, with our first team and a guide I had met during previous documentaries—a ranger with incredible skills and a fantastic passion for nature. Our route follows the East Coast almost to the border of Mozambique, before descending toward Lesotho. From there, we head further south to Knysna and the Garden Route, taking a detour north into the Karoo, then on to the Cape. The journey continues through the desert into Namibia, up to the Angolan border, through Botswana, and finally reaching a milestone stop in Zimbabwe at Victoria Falls.
Art Without Borders
As we travel, the team evolves, and we encounter diverse cultures and artists. The 4x4 itself becomes a piece of "mobile art," decorated by street artists along the way—a living testimony that culture knows no borders and unites the world.
An Ambitious Vision
My project doesn’t end here. The ambitious goal is to travel to other corners of the globe, using my documentaries to witness how connected the world truly is through the medium of art and culture. My dream is to organize an exhibition on every continent featuring these photographs, the decorated vehicle, and the music collected along the way.
I am currently working toward this vision, but for now, the adventure has begun—and it has already changed and enriched me.
How to Watch
The first documentary series is currently airing on the Marco Polo channel, available throughout Italy and across Europe on Eurosat (Channel 55). Negotiations are also underway for broadcasting in the United States.
The adventure continues.
