The art of balance #13 | Enzo Chiarullo, how will you communicate? The journalist is the thirteenth guest of “The art of balance / Pandemopraxy”, the initiative launched by Cittadellarte. Enzo Chiarullo, starting from the premise that governments from all over the world are entrusting specifically assembled local task forces with the responsibility of ferrying us into the post-pandemic, wonders if we might not need “a super task force of all task forces” we could all refer to so as to act in a concerted manner aimed at accomplishing a new sustainable global dimension. Here is who could be part of it according to Chiarullo. BY Redazione IL 26/05/2020 Leggi di più

Manuela participates proposing her text “I will make a masterpiece out of myself – Reflections on the new era”, in which she recalls her “Phase 1” on personal and professional level, and reflects on the impact the Coronavirus will have in the social context, identifying the possible roles of art and the Third Paradise. “Covid-19 is a disease, but it is also a metaphor of the disease, – she argues – an effect of the psychic rifts we have caused between us and the world, between us and ourselves”.

Let’s have our voice heard: the launch of the initiative “The art of balance / Pandemopraxy” Cittadellarte invites its digital users and readers to reflect on the life awaiting us in the post-pandemic world. Will or won’t we change? And if we will, how? What can we concretely do to head towards a balance of sustainable prosperity? Starting from these questions inspired by the song by Subsonica dedicated to the Third Paradise, we’ll wait for your answers to give a collective boost to our project of rebirth and responsible social transformation. Michelangelo Pistoletto and Paolo Naldini introduce the initiative through a video message and a docufilm: here are the recordings. BY Redazione IL 11/05/2020 Leggi di più
From pandemic to pan-demopraxy Paolo Naldini, director of Cittadellarte, launches a choral initiative of restarting (rebirth) after the pandemic. It is primarily addressed to the network of Rebirth / Third Paradise Ambassadors, but also to all those who are active in their community with practices and thinking of sustainable prosperity. Inspired by Subsonica sound track dedicated to the Third Paradise, the initiative asks: "How will you live. How you will learn. How will you communicate. How will you express yourself. How will you do everything you do?" In order to clarify the questions, the text below offers two ideas, two algorithms: the sense of balance (represented by the vision and the symbol of the Third Paradise) and the art of Demopraxy. "If we still don't know where exactly this virus came from and how it spread - so Naldini - we can decide where it will direct us." This assumption of direct responsibility for the daily practice of our life is the lesson of the pandemic and therefore it is called: Pan-demopraxy. BY Paolo Naldini IL 14/04/2020 Leggi di più
