A collection of questions about contemporary living, Luigi Spedicato, sociologist at theUniversity of Salento, and Milena Farina, researcher in architectural and urban design at theUniversity of Roma Tre.

The exhibition, open from June 9 to Sept. 9, 2018, stems from the ABITARE call for entries, issued by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism - General Directorate for Contemporary Art and Architecture and Urban Peripheries.

The theme, it was said, is contemporary living in a landscape that is examined in an articulate way, addressing the social vein, which is more linked to the appearance of the places experienced. Matteo Balduzzi recounts, “The artists have operated animated by a strong civil and social tension, often through a deep rootedness in places. With extremely divergent languages and practices, ranging from documentary photography to the staged image, from the activism proper to public art to the application of algorithms, the projects deal with highly topical issues such as housing sharing, wanted or forced, for reasons of income or mutual assistance, the condition of fragility that characterizes both internal areas and situations of occupation or self-management, the interactions between technology, image and body.”

The exhibition is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Ticket price €7.
