4Cs: 4+4 proposals for a world in transformation​

Today, under the circumstances, we are forced to accept social isolation for our own sake and survival. This isolation has individual but also collective consequences, with physical, psychological, social, economic, and cultural dimensions.

The 4Cs project, at the Research Centre for Communication and Culture (CECC), understands art and culture precisely as tools for analyzing these dimensions but also as a space for meeting and participating in the world in which we live. And this world is changing at a speed that is almost impossible to grasp and process. Many of us can enjoy the privilege of stopping to reflect on the comfort of the silence we have built. But, for so many of us, stopping and being silent is not an option because any interregnum of activity means lack of income and practical consequences that result from it.
