Calculating distance...
In an era marked by escalating assaults on press freedom, many journalists are being forced into exile to escape imprisonment, violence and death for simply reporting facts. But being far does not always mean being safe, as the tentacles of authoritarian regimes and shady interests reach beyond borders, and loved ones back home may suffer acts of reprisal.
In this discussion, journalists from Eritrea, Myanmar, Russia and South Sudan will share their journeys into exile and their insights on keeping safe, staying sane and reporting accurately in the most trying of circumstances. The panel, moderated by Fondation Hirondelle (a Swiss NGO which supports and creates media in crisis-affected countries), will also explore how the international community can better help those brave journalists who will not allow their voices to be silenced.
Organised in association with Fondation Hirondelle.

Sala della Vaccara
La Sala della Vaccara si trova nel lato nord del Palazzo dei Priori, nell’area ove sorgeva l'antica chiesa di San Severo. Fu realizzata attorno al 1339 ed è stata sede del primo archivio comunale. La sala si presenta con volte a crociera e costolature e al suo interno rimangono brani di affreschi raffiguranti santi protettori dei traffici commerciali e delle attività artigianali. Sulla parete di fondo è collocato un distacco di affresco raffigurante la Madonna con Bambino e Santi di Tiberio di Assisi (Scuola umbra del XV Sec.).
