Boats4People Press release n° 9 - The first action at sea is coming to an
end, the project goes on

Boats4People’s first action at sea is coming to an end. However, it is
important to stress that the project is called upon to continue, and not
only through its networking, legal analysis and litigation, observation
and data collection activities.

Awareness-raising actions have already taken place simultaneously with the
flottilla: Calais, Strasbourg, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Paris, Amsterdam,
Tilburg, etc. This type of action will continue to lend visibility to the
project everywhere in Europe, in the Mediterranean and worldwide.

As was the case with the voyage on board the Oloferne, the last phase has
a special symbolic value, since its stage is the island of Lampedusa,
gateway to Fortress Europe.

The Oloferne docked at the island this July 16, and since then teams of
journalists, lawyers and activists are  busy collecting  information from
the population, the authorities, the new mayor Giusi Nicolini and the
fishermen.

At their side, the Boats4People activists will celebrate that
Mediterranean solidarity which the project claims, which Lampedusa
embodies and which the promoters of the Lampedusa InFestival strive to
pass on thanks to the cultural productions presented.

Boats4People joins in the Festival and introduces itself to the people of
Lampedusa by showing two short videos, the Boats4People campaign teaser
and the Watch the Med trailer, on *19 July* between 12 and 1 pm at the old
Anagrafe office near Piazza Castello, via Roma.

On the same day at 4 pm, a *press conference* will be held on board the
Oloferne in the port of Lampedusa, beneath the offices of the coast guard.
The speakers will be *Carmen Cordaro* (a lawyer and member of ARCI),
*Albert Chaïbou *(an alternative journalist and a member of Alternative
Espaces Citoyen – Niger), *Lorenzo Pezzani* (co-founder of the Watch the
Med platform), *Marco Tibiletti *(captain of the Oloferne and president of
La Nave di Carta) and *Gianluca Vitale *(director of Askavusa). We invite
you to attend.

*At 6 pm*, the Boats4People activists will go to the “Gateway to Europe”
monument for various *actions commemorating those who died and were lost
at sea*: flowers will be cast into the sea from fishing boats, the play
“Invisibles” by and with Mohamed Ba will be staged and a concert by
Giacomo Sferlazzo and Alessio Greco will take place.

On that occasion, works of contemporary art created by the Ahle El Kahf
group of Tunisian artists will be presented to the Museum of Migrations of
Lampedusa as a symbol of Mediterranean solidarity.
