10/11/2020 The Art of Balance #69 | Silvia Avallone, how will you communicate? The writer is the 69th participant in the initiative “The Art of Balance / Pandemopraxy”, launched by Cittadellarte. Silvia Avallone reflects on how the pandemic has “swept away” appearance, elaborating on the fact that with the advent of a society of images and social media, communication has become a “spasmodic research for illusory perfection”. This episode’s guest goes on to answer the question posed by the project: “May each life be narrated like a novel,” she said, “may every word convey the indefinable complexity of the individual, avoiding the numbers with which we have been taught to assign value. Let’s learn again to use words to question and not to simplify, to create community and not controversy.” IL 10/11/2020 Leggi di più
