- 13:54Curare per interrompere i sistemi di oppressione | Andi Ngaso | TEDxPisogneNato in un sistema di oppressione, figlio di una frattura e di una migrazione continua. Andi Nganso, speaker di TEDxPisogne, porta sul palco una voce che attraversa sofferenze. Sbarcato in Italia nel 2006, si è trovato in un sistema dove la cittadinanza è un privilegio. E allora viene da chiedersi: come si fa a parlare di eredità, se la tua identità non viene riconosciuta? La sua risposta è rivoluzionaria: scegliere la cura. Curare significa interrompere il sistema e rendere la cura collettiva uno strumento di resistenza. Andi Nganso è un medico, imprenditore e narratore di mondi. È nato in Camerun, è cresciuto tra migrazioni e sogni, e oggi vive in Italia, dove cura corpi, idee e comunità. Da anni si muove tra ospedali, frontiere e festival culturali, cercando di restituire dignità a ciò che spesso viene ignorato: le storie. È Medico di urgenza emergenza e esperto di salute globale. È volontario della Croce Rossa Italiana, con cui lavora in contesti di emergenza sanitaria e cooperazione internazionale. Ma è anche il fondatore del Festival DiverCity, una piattaforma che intreccia arte, design, decolonizzazione e giustizia sociale.
