Drawing from a research programme dealing with media and performative arts as tools for the intercultural dialogue (https://www.migrations-mediations.com/), this essay investigates the practices of representation engendered by Milan policymakers who attempt to re-imagine the urban territories by adopting the gazes of migrant subjects settled down in the city. Significantly, many of the cultural projects coping with migrant ‘place-making’ employ the audiovisual device in order to explore how interactions in public spaces shape a new sense of belonging and inclusion within community spaces. By studying the cross-media palimpsest ‘Milano Città Mondo’, this paper aims to provide an analysis of the social and political framework underlying this project in order to deeply understand if a new version of civic identity in terms of inclusiveness and cultural plurality is fully embraced.
