The story of the MEA, the Museum of Emigration in Asuni, starts in 2002, thanks to the initiative of Antonio Porcu, born in Asuni and migrated to Bologna, who donates a small old house to the Municipality of Asuni. This is the starting point of a series of cultural activities aimed at creating a documentation center dedicated to emigration issues, and in general to the study and dissemination of migrant cultures.
At that time in Asuni, a group of people begins to interact with the non-profit organization Su Disterru. Thanks to more complex and richer connections between the small village and various international bodies, new synergies and new activities are developed: terre di confine filmfestival is one of these.
