WEEKEND SPECIALS

Contributors

The Weekend Specials program, part of the six-month long Monditalia exhibition, will unfold in diverse formats: from documentaries and workshops to lectures, debates, shows, and performances. Weekends have two overriding themes: Echoes and Generations. Echoes resonates with the scan of Italy presented in the Arsenale through the selection of films and Italian case studies. Each weekend will be programmed by different contributor(s), often the same as those in the permanent exhibition. Generations aims to explore different disciplines— architecture, technology, pedagogy, language, management, and politics—through the filter of transgenerational perspectives. Through these two themes, the Weekend Specials program investigates, among other things, the cultural influence of the 1960s avant-gardes, apparent similarities between the 1968 protesters and the Occupy movements, the struggle between private and public capital in cultural ventures, the influence of bloodlines and familiar affinities between generations in contemporary European societies, the evolution of language and translation in the globalized context, the impact of technology in networked politics and self-production processes, the new geographies of sacred communities and spaces...
