Quali sono i risultati economici, culturali e sociali prodotti da Matera 2019?

A questa importante domanda risponde l’attività di monitoraggio e valutazione condotta dalla Fondazione sulla Capitale Europea della Cultura che ha visto Matera e la Basilicata protagoniste in Italia e in Europa nel 2019.
Un percorso collettivo avviato ufficialmente ben dieci anni fa con la nascita del Comitato promotore della candidatura, nel luglio del 2011, e che ha coinvolto diversi soggetti a più livelli, dalle Istituzioni ai cittadini, dagli artisti ai volontari, dalla scena creativa alle imprese, in ambito internazionale, nazionale e locale.

Tutti i risultati degli studi valutativi, realizzati da alcuni tra i maggiori esperti del settore a livello nazionale e internazionale, saranno illustrati il 19 aprile alle ore 11:00 durante un incontro in live streaming trasmesso sul canale youtube del Ministero della Cultura (MIC) e alla presenza dello stesso Ministro Dario Franceschini, che ha seguito le tappe principali del lungo e appassionante percorso della Capitale Europea della Cultura.

La presentazione è quindi una occasione per presentare i risultati economici, culturali e sociali prodotti da Matera 2019, ma anche per lanciare sfide e approfondimenti alla luce dei cambiamenti prodotti dalla pandemia su come la cultura possa trainare l’economia, cosa vuol dire co-produrre cultura per una città ai margini dei grandi circuiti culturali, coinvolgendo in modo attivo anche i cittadini, quali sono i benefici in termini sociali della partecipazione alla cultura e quali le pratiche di welfare culturale, come rispondere alle disuguaglianze nell’accesso alla cultura che rischiano di aumentare ulteriormente nei prossimi anni per effetto della pandemia.

L'incontro si svolgerà alla presenza di Dario Franceschini, Ministro della Cultura e sarà moderato da Marino Sinibaldi, Presidente del Centro per il libro e la lettura nonché guida storica di Radio 3, l’emittente culturale che dal 2011 ha realizzato a Matera la festa di Materadio. Vi prenderanno parte alcuni degli autori degli studi valutativi su Matera 2019: Pierluigi Sacco, Senior Advisor OECD e professore di economia della cultura Università IULM Milano,  Lucio Argano, esperto in progettazione culturale PtsClas,  l’urbanista Mariavaleria Mininni e l’economista Carmelo Petraglia dell’Università degli Studi della Basilicata nonché Michele Somma e Rossella Tarantino, rispettivamente Vicepresidente e Direttrice della Fondazione Matera-Basilicata 2019. 
Le conclusioni saranno affidate al Presidente della Regione Basilicata, Vito Bardi e al Sindaco di Matera, Domenico Bennardi.

The manual So Far So Close. Practices of infra-pandemic.

The manual “So far, so close. Practices of infra-pandemic closeness” is an operational tool of the performing arts festival “So far, so close. Exercises in closeness”, a collection of strategies and experiences gained within the Festival and in other national and international events during the infra-pandemic period.

Developed in parallel with the events of the Festival that were held in Basilicata from 12th September to 24th October 2020, the manual analysed the various regulatory updates of the DPCM [Prime Ministerial Decree], dealing with the progressive changes regarding the regulations and guidelines for live entertainment, ending precisely in conjunction with the general suspension of public and private events sanctioned in the decree of 26th October 2020.

The manual is not configured as a definitive guide, it is rather the beginning of research made up of various contributions, experiences in the field and design solutions that can be expanded in order to rethink the paradigms of the live entertainment sector.

With the preface by the Minister of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism Dario Franceschini, the Manual is organized into three sections:

SO FAR. Expanding the field of investigation.

This is the part of research and in depth analysis of the issues that gravitate around the new rituals imposed by the virus. It contains contributions from artists, architects, researchers, philosophers, and scientists who have addressed issues of proximity, public space and the pandemic, 

 including, among others, Virgilio Sieni, Antonio Tagliarini, Michele Di Stefano, Annamaria Ajmone, Luigi Coppola, Giulia Fiaccarini and Patrizia Braga (Melting Pro), Maurizio Carta, Maurizio Ferraris, Luigi Civalleri, Patrizia Giancotti, Anna Gesualdi and Giovanni Trono (TeatrInGestAzione), Janet Hetman, Salvatore Iaconesi, Bertram Niessen, Michele Pagliaroni of the Urbino Festival Teatro Urbano, Marco Petroni, Francesco Piersoft Paolicelli , Alessandra Pioselli, Enorme Studio, Post Disaster.

APPARATUSES. Regulations and possible solutions.

It is the collection of regulations, DPCM, articles and projects that have accompanied the research phase.

References and case studies present possible creative solutions or food for thought with respect to the new rules for containing the contagion. The user will also find a selection of manuals, guides and tools available under an open source licence and ready to be used, improved and integrated.

SO CLOSE. Experimentation in the field.

It is the strictly operational section that includes the tools, the survey method, the projects, the structures and the visuals designed, with the analysis of critical issues and the return of the results and solutions adopted.

This ever-changing collection is distributed under the Creative Commons licence, CC BY-SA-NC, in digital and freely printable form. Its main objective

is to contribute to the discussion on culture as a response to the crisis, seeking solutions, sharing results, reflections and good practices.
