BASILICATË is a vivid portrait of contemporary Lucanian culture abroad, shaped by artists, scholars, and emigrant communities who trace their origins back to Basilicata. Through research, dialogue, actions, and exhibitions, it tells the story of the BASILICATË born from the exchange between Lucanian emigration and the local cultures of the United States, Argentina, and Uruguay. This book presents emigration in its dynamic form: as a catalyst that keeps cultural heritage alive and transforms it, building new and stronger identities for the future.
