‘Migrants map Europe’ is a research project that aims to rewrite cities through the gaze and the sign of those who arrive there. The mapping workshops realized in several cities have generated maps that unveil new urban forms by soliciting the manifestation of a foreign thought: a process that asks the European territory for an openness and self-representation that includes foreignness as a participating voice in its project horizons. The experience carried out in Naples with a group of migrant women from Dedalus Cooperative, that is the subject of this article, showed the project's meaning on two levels. The first is linked to the territory: the women’s knowledge of the neighbourhood and the city is widened and articulated through the recognition of the urban space activated with the maps. The second concerns sociality, with the opening of a new possible space of self-expression through the narration of the migrants’ own experience in the arrival city.
