Simone Verde and Emanuela Ceva Discuss Culture and Politics on Artribune Podcast

The Artribune Podcast series 'Contemporaneamente' has released a new episode featuring Simone Verde and Emanuela Ceva, who explore the intersections of museums, culture, and politics. Verde, director of the Complesso monumentale della Pilotta since 2017, brings expertise from his roles as former head of scientific research and publications at the AFM/Louvre Abu Dhabi, and his academic background in philosophy and art history. Ceva, a professor of political theory at the University of Geneva, directs the research project 'The Margins of Corruption' and is editor of Ethical Theory and Moral Practice. Their dialogue addresses how museums originated as tools for civilizational promotion and competition, the evolving concept of democracy, the continuous renegotiation of identities, and the historical role of luxury as elite self-representation. The podcast aims to provide new perspectives on contemporary mechanisms between local and global, individual and society, and masculine and feminine thought.
