Evoking the Olympic marathon in Rome 1960 in which Ethiopian Abebe Bikila
won Africa’s first gold medal, running
barefoot and becoming a sporting legend and symbol of an Africa
freeing itself from colonialism in the process, the artists have
recontextualised this amidst Rome’s rationalist architecture as a new race
involving refugees and immigrants staking a claim to 'freedom
of movement': also understood as the possibility of being welcomed
in another country.
