Biography

Ghebreigziabiher was born in Naples to an Eritrean father[1] and an Italian mother[2] and currently lives in Rome. There, he obtained a Computer science University degree at La Sapienza University.

He is author of novels and short stories,[3] a professional storyteller often involved in intercultural[4] and anti-racist[5] education[6] with projects and festivals.[7]

His first book, Tramonto (Sunset), Lapis Edizioni, in 2003 was included by the International Youth Library inside The White Ravens,[8] an annual list that includes 250 books from around the world considered especially noteworthy.

Since 2007 he is artistic director of the Italian Storytelling Festival Il dono della diversità ("The gift of diversity"),[9] thirteenth edition in 2019.

Barry Bradford,[10] American speaker,[11] historian and writer who contributed to reopen the Edgar Ray Killen case, appreciated his short story Il coraggio della speranza ("The courage of hope"), about James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, and wrote the preface[12] for his book Amori diversi ("Different Loves").

In 2016 he founded the international group Storytellers for Peace,[13] composed of artists from around the world, with the aim of creating collective videos[14] in several languages about peace[15] and human rights.[16]

An excerpt from his book Tramonto (Sunset) was published in English on Afropean.com, part of The Guardian newspaper's "Africa Network".[17]
