Palazzo Merulana virtually reopens its doors with #casamerulana

Starting this week, Rome ’s Palazzo Merulana is offering on its social channels Facebook and Instagram the #casamerulana project: the doors of the exhibition venue virtually reopen to the public with meetings with artists, games, quizzes, backstage stories of a work, virtual postcards, and workshops to make “do-it-yourself works.”

The intent is to create an educational path through which our homes can become creative workshops. Without forgetting the direct relationship with the audience. An interactive palimpsest where art and social relationship are fundamental.

CoopCulture general manager Letizia Casuccio said, “We want to rely on the digital world to transmit targeted forms and content and create a bridge between the places deputed to culture and the homes of every possible user. The home, in fact, is the first place of culture par excellence, where one comes into contact with the first form of sociality, the family. Art creation often takes its cue and inspiration precisely from the everyday, art simply speaks of our lives to our lives and, therefore, speaks of us.”

Regarding face-to-face meetings with artists, he adds, "What if, among the many video calls, we received a few from an artist? Perhaps from an artist from the wonderful Cerasi Collection, housed inside Palazzo Merulana. We might thus happen to chat with Antonietta Raphael, an extraordinary 20th-century artist and symbol of the collection, who tells us what lies behind her Self-Portrait with Violin (1928), or with Antonio Donghi, author of Gita in barca (1934), or even Cambellotti and Scipione, just to name a few."
