Synopsis:
Drawing inspiration from the seven migratory griefs described by psychiatrist Joseba Achotegui, O Mal de Ulisses [Ulysses’ Evil] is a project that comprises several forms of intervention, meant to bring awareness to the communities concerning the history, identity and psychic condition of people who are subjected to migratory processes. It is about the reasons that led them to abandon their family and their country, and about their experience in their host country, including their hardships and learnings. — Rui Catalão
