The art of balance #20 | Giovanna Melandri, what will you eat?
The president of MAXXI – National Museum of XXI Century Arts is the 20th guest of “The art of balance / Pandemopraxy”. Giovanna Melandri participates with a video contribution in which she analyses the impact the pandemic has had on economy, society and life, focusing on one of the key questions of the initiative launched by Cittadellarte, the one about nourishment: “Let’s feed on brave, radical and at the same time gentle thoughts, which help us develop the part of our brain able to collaborate and cooperate rather than compete”. On a practical level, she recommends a reduction in the consumption of meat, especially the one coming from intensive farming. Here is the video.

The art of balance #19 | Maurizio Trovatelli, where will you live?
The architect is the 19th guest of “The art of balance / Pandemopraxy”. Maurizio Trovatelli starts by illustrating the impact he thinks the pandemic has had on our daily life, mentioning both negative (loss of freedom) and positive (regeneration of nature) aspects. He then focuses on one of the questions of the initiative launched by Cittadellarte: “I will live in a city, or a residential area, where travelling is limited in terms of both the distance to cover and the need to travel; therefore a place where the traffic of mechanical services is drastically reduced and what we need is closer to us”. A condition achievable by opposing consumerism through cultural services, places for sharing, social laboratories and natural spaces.

The art of balance #17 | Rita Brugnara, how will you eat?
The author, a manager in the publishing sector and a consultant on communication in the field of social innovation, is the seventeenth guest of “The art of balance / Pandemopraxy”, the initiative launched by Cittadellarte. Rita Brugnara, before answering the question, reflects on what we will be able to concretely do to head towards a balance of sustainable and responsible prosperity. In her narrative, she mentions virtuous projects (Good Land’s “Stare Vicini”) and – in her opinion – not so positive ones (Facebook’s “Shops”). “How we will eat will depend on how much we want to feel terrestrial and not Martian. We need to feed ourselves both physically and mentally”.
