Kandwala means "Broken house" in Afgani language, Pashto. This work is about the state of people that arrives in Trieste following the balkan route. Despite all their effort to reach the "Civilized Europe", this is the life they have to live for months, while waiting for the residency permit. The, so called, SILOS, is a dilapidated building, populated by rats where people from Pakistan, Afganistan and Bangladesh live in tents, without electricity, water and toilets. This is the "door of europe", the "door of Italy", in 2024 this HELL shouldn't exist.
