MY-Zone Podcast is a cultural project that through the voices of three racialized women, Ariman Scriba, Selam Tesfai and Ariam Tekle, explores three neighbourhoods of the Milanese suburbs: Quarto Oggiaro, San Siro and Corvetto. One theme per episode will be proposed, starting with the right to housing, mental health, the visible and invisible effects of gentrification, and moving on to everyday life, services, culture and art in these neighbourhoods.

MY-Zone Podcast is a cultural project that through the voices of three racialized women, Ariman Scriba, Selam Tesfai and Ariam Tekle explores three neighbourhoods of the Milanese suburbs: Quarto Oggiaro, San Siro and Corvetto. After a presentation of the three voices that will accompany the audience along this exploratory journey, one theme per episode will be proposed, starting with the right to housing, mental health, the visible and invisible effects of gentrification, and moving on to everyday life, services, culture and art in these neighbourhoods.

The three hosts, in fact, as well as being - in different and specific ways for each one - sensitive and attentive to Milan's social and economic issues and dynamics, are linked to the neighbourhoods proposed in MY-Zone Podcast. Born and/or raised in these neighbourhoods - such as Ariman in Quarto Oggiaro and Ariam in Corvetto - or linked by a decade-long relationship of territorial activism - as in the case of Selam with the San Siro neighbourhood - they will use their experiences to tell the story of parts of the city subjected to a media narrative often vitiated by prejudices and fears that do not match the cultural resistance that these neighbourhoods have produced.

The city of Milan is always recounted through its centres and activities and events that are exclusive to most, forgetting those neighbourhoods beyond the outer ring road, that are and remain laboratories of cultural and political resistance.
