Seasons

In 2021, Italy was back in lockdown and Radio GAMeC arrived on the social platform Clubhouse, inaugurating a new phase of the project and returning, at the same time, to the original dimension of a daily appointment. From February 15 to April 19, every morning from Monday to Friday, Lorenzo Giusti and Lara Facco gave life to a series of open conversations, involving over one hundred personalities from the art and culture system in Italy. Conceived as an accessible and informal space for dialogue, the format exploited the potential of the platform — based exclusively on voice and real-time interaction — to favor a direct confrontation between guests and the public. The conversations addressed central themes for the present, from the transformations of cultural institutions to new methods of production and enjoyment of art, up to the future perspectives of the sector.
