In this short video I explored the topic of inclusion through my personal experience by learning Shqip language and local food names. Through many contacts with local people, I have found out that strangers become more cordial and friendly when I approach them in their own language and show a keen interest in learning it. I got — included. Language can be a barrier between strangers, and it can also be what unites them. Food brings people together and at the same time, it operates as an expression of cultural identity. Learning the language and getting to know the names of the local dishes of the country I’m visiting is my way of showing to the strangers that I care about their traditions and their culture. Often, only because of showing that interest, I get included in strangers’ lives or even invited to unexpected events. Strangers become acquaintances, acquaintances become friends.

A wall is a significant architectural gesture. There is an indication of an inside and an outside. An indication of power and a historical significance. It is the material consequence of an abstract line that was drawn. In urban contexts historical walls stand in space and time, serving as reminders of what once was and yet still partially is. “In Rome […] people live more in streets than at home” (Pasolini). The Aurelian wall, perforated and surrounded by the streets of Rome, inhabited by humans and time, appears as dynamic and vital, meandering and static all at the same time. But what might be perceived as a seclusive body of mass and a symbol of the remains is in fact, when distinguishing between living on the street and in the street, a body who offers itself as home for those without one. The scenes of the walls exhibit the rejection and invitation, dwelling and deserting. The theater of the street would not be the same without its walls.
