Sadaf acted in plays, often in difficult conditions. His story is a powerful example of courage and resistance against oppression.

Arrogalla - Francesco Medda
Francesco Medda Arrogalla is a sound artist born in Sardinia in 1981. His research is a creative and sophisticated blend of Sardinian folk, tropical and Mediterranean sounds that meet abstract hip hop and contemporary music, all processed through the language of dub origins.
He has always listened to hip hop, dub, techno, traditional Sardinian music, people's voices, traffic and the sounds of nature, creating over time a vast archive of experiences and sound materials that become potentially useful elements for creating new music. All this is part of his kaleidoscopic aesthetic. In this sense, he is a pioneer and also one of the leading exponents on the island, but not only there, of an original and constantly updated mode of music production.
To his research and composition work he associates an intense live activity, in Sardinia and outside the island. He has collaborated and still collaborates with Michela Murgia, Carlotta Vagnoli, Elena Ledda, Davide Toffolo, Mauro Palmas, Gavino Murgia, Giacomo Casti, Malasorti, Koi and organises with Antas Teatro in San Sperate the popular culture festival Cuncambias now in its 20th edition.
He has published for La Tempesta, S'ardmusic and numerous other European labels and netlabels.

Natali Shaheen
Natali Shaheen is a Palestinian footballer, former captain of her national team, who has been living in Sassari for a few years. She was the first Palestinian footballer to play in Europe. In 2022, she published the book ‘A Kick to Prejudices’, in which she shows the economic, cultural and political difficulties that Palestinian women have to face in order to play football: a journey that starts from the Israeli checkpoints in the occupied territories of Palestine and passes through the difficulties she encountered in her cultural and sporting education to the fields of Sardinia and her current life.
