Onassis Stegi, taking into account the more than 151,000 views of the first ‘SOCIETY UNCENSORED’ panel, “9 Afrogreeks discuss: What does ‘I can’t breathe’ stands for in Greece,” and the thousands of comments on it, continues to open up debates for everything that matters in our current society, for the hybrid dimension of identity, and the right to belong. This time, 8 young people living in Greece, from very diverse backgrounds, share and relate their personal experiences regarding their cultural identity, and the way it is shaped in their daily lives. In a time when the Western world often engages with the term ‘identity’ and the right to self-determination, which ones – and how – can define who we are or where we are up to?
