The first event featured a dialogue between two extraordinary voices: Tawakkul Karman, Yemeni journalist and activist, the first Arab woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011, and Samia Nkrumah, a central figure in contemporary Pan-Africanism. Together, in a conversation moderated by Marilisa Palumbo, Foreign News Editor at Corriere della Sera, they brought different perspectives united by a shared desire for peace, at the heart of an exhibition that reflects on war through the lens of human emotions.

The second event in the public program “The Culture of Peace” features Nadia Murad, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Yazidi activist, and survivor of abduction by ISIS. Nadia has transformed her pain into a powerful voice defending victims of sexual violence and persecution, sharing her testimony at the United Nations and around the world. Her global advocacy for justice and human dignity makes her one of the most influential figures in today’s human rights movement. This was a unique opportunity to hear a story of courage, resilience, and hope.

The conversation, moderated by Greta Privitera, journalist at Corriere della Sera, gave Nadia Murad the opportunity to reaffirm that there can be no peace without justice and without remembrance—sparking meaningful reflections on human rights, responsibility, and rebuilding.
