Maxxi Museum Launches 'Liberi di uscire col pensiero' Streaming Program During Lockdown
In response to Italy's lockdown, which resulted in the closure of museums on March 8 and commercial activities on March 11, the Maxxi Museum in Rome introduced 'Liberi di uscire col pensiero' (Free to go out with thought) for audiences at home. Supporting the #iorestoacasa initiative, this online festival kicks off on March 12, featuring design discussions led by Domitilla Dardi and Pippo Ciorra. Daily programming includes contributions from artists and curators such as Gea Casolaro and Enzo Cucchi, alongside multidisciplinary dialogues with psychoanalysts and writers reflecting on the present situation. The museum will also commemorate its 10th anniversary online with '10 anni del Maxxi', while 'Prime Time' offers evening video access. Content is accessible via social media and the museum's website, including a new 'MicroLab' for children.
