for the House of Culture in Livorno

MONITORING URBAN TRANSFORMATIONS Livornese

prerequisite for a project of cultural and social use for the House of Culture in Livorno, is the recognition that the irreducible value of culture is its autonomy. When the market or politics seek to govern or direct it strictly, the result is often unacceptable flatness of no social utility (better to risk some heresy!). Without diversity without conflict, you will land soon in the form of censorship and self-censorship, that the power to call consent. Mediation of conflicts of ideas should therefore not be able to shut down or eradicate dissent that if brought back into common democratic rules of mutual respect and therefore, it is vital and indispensable.

PROBLEMS AND QUESTIONS AND 'SHOULD ARISE ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION AND ACTIVATION OF THE HOUSE OF CULTURE.
What will be the managing entity, one or more individuals or even a network of actors?
How to realize an open participation within clearly defined purpose?
Who decides who is responsible, and those who produce cultural activity, are the same person or not?
Who controls the assets are following the predefined goals?
What role does the public, what is the relationship with the managers etc.?

THINGS TO AVOID
There should be no taxation policy, institutional, or party, on the contrary must be guaranteed pluralism, and freedom, except the banning of all forms of racism, fundamentalism, authoritarianism, violent practices.
is not acceptable to any censorship that limits the freedom of cultural expression - artistic, no control can be bureaucratic and permanent. The youth creativity can not be a reason for exclusion, exchanges with people who express cultural levels involved, regardless of age.

LE THINGS TO ENSURE
Who works and operates within the common purpose, must be able to decide how they work. The verification of the work should be used to analyze the correspondence between the proposals and achievements of the objectives established and adopted the practice, and should be owned and open. The common general purpose will be established with the greatest participation. Could be: to promote, encourage, produce free culture in the many visual expressions of audio-visual communications media music etc. with a careful and critical look at the city, develop the ability to read (and demystify) the complex world of communications through newspapers, television and other blogs media. The priorities of activities and intervention should be determined in accordance with social objectives defined by the maximum participation. Assuming that the artistic quality is difficult to measure, selection should favor work programs can interact and be part of broader national and international circuits.
These purposes or at least the common goals established during the confrontation must take the form of a statute setting out the general outline of rules for the accession of the operation and management and economic. The statute should be signed by those who offer themselves as managers of the House of Culture. Who manages
should submit proposals through a process that involves at least the network of actors in the territory by developing a project with maximum participation in the medium term, consistent with the aims of choices, and able to connect the plurality of artistic expression.
Decision-making on the use of the House of Culture should be an opportunity for exchange and confrontation with the entire network of artistic production and cultural activities, existing in the area, to enhance and grow the experience now at least uneven and / or harmful competition.

USE OF SPACE
spaces of the house of culture and suggest some activities or restrict other: upstairs could find support an information center and training, audiovisual production and multicultural research, and organizing teleconferences.
could be set up creative workshops and training of media art. You can also suggest a function-museum exhibition, video installations and other art forms related to the audiovisual in general. E 'desirable training young cultural workers, artists, film makers, musicians, poets, writers, to give an opportunity and a chance to those who seek to explore and question the reality in a creative environment, including urban space.
The lower part of the traditional place of the conference and cultural events, political and artistic training information, it may continue to be employed for that purpose.
The network project management can develop their own programs by extending the activities in other areas and other places to meet and to network with actors of the territory, for example: New Fortress for outdoor music concerts (exhibitions and conferences , taking an interesting season of concerts, the Spring), Villa Morazzana international conferences, Old Fort where concerts and other cultural events, meetings, theater, cinema and research on cinema from Kino Desse AGI-Plas, and even Comedy Theatre , community centers and ARCI, Refugio, squares, streets often the scene of events, not always exciting (Venice effect).
Networking and talk to the existing territorial realities, in a broader national and international circuit, this is the challenge to enhance and revitalize the cultural circuit of Leghorn.
