ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION SERIES
UNLEARN is a visual podcast that uses the dynamic format of roundtable discussions to talk about a wide array of topics, and delve into complex issues within the Italian diaspora.
Through the voices and experiences of academics and various figures from artistic and creative backgrounds, the project wants to involve, inform and share in a direct and easygoing manner, aspects of Italian culture where discussions about race are still new, and notions like systemic racism or cultural appropriation are not widely known.
Every episode serves as a platform to confront ideas, stimulate dialog, and support diversity and inclusion, to veer away from stereotypes and encourage the unlearning of many clichés.
“Do Italians embrace their internal diversity
and that of others?”

THE FORMAT
UNLEARN is a roundtable created and produced in New York City, based on Zoe’s comprehensive research. The show revolves around a single question, with the aim of enhancing awareness, understanding, and knowledge of various themes, updated concepts and terms. By using creativity, an informal language, and an immediate approach, the show strives to serve as a megaphone and a promoter of information dissemination.

This learning hub is designed to stimulate your imagination, improve critical thinking and connection to others. A rich array of resources, including reading materials, social media content, audio and video, personal testimonies, interactive games, and downloadable materials!
