The paper reflects on the role of campaigns in the deconstruction of the mainstream media representation that feeds the collective imaginary on migrants and refugees in Italy. Moreover, it focuses on the role of campaigns to hinder the “securitarian” and “humanitarian” frame, which is strongly connected with the emergency imaginary and the spectacle of suffering. This is an effort to raise awareness on the issues of anti-racism, solidarity and inclusion, which, however, not always, and despite the intentions, success to produce a different idea of migration, with the risk to reiterate a stereotyped image of cultural diversity.
