CommemorAction

CommemorAction is a blended word encompassing both commemoration and action. It emphasizes both our commitment to remembering those who died or disappeared in their pursuit of freedom of movement and our demands for justice.
CommemorActions are actions that commemorate people who died or have gone missing at sea during their journey to Europe. Born out of the collaboration between the friends and families of those who go missing in the Mediterranean and activists who collect their testimonies and reproduce their demands, CommemorActions have been organized around Europe and Africa over the last years. They are both commemorations and protest, mixing political messages with artistic performances, but most of all, linking grieving loved ones with as many people as possible, and making platforms together to make their stories and demands known.
