Salotto Urbano

A domestic space in urban areas to collect video testimonies and reflections of young and old on the issues of the city and their transformations. An opportunity to discuss together life means, an exploration of the emotions, wishes and the expectation of new generations.

AreaOdeon, always interested at the relationship between man and metropolis, territory and citizen, their interaction and their meaning, wanted to create with this initiative an opportunity to gather and research, giving voice to the individual in a broader context, which also involved the municipal and provincial administrations of our territory.

Urban living room has been realized in different locations, for example in 2006 we met the citizens of Milan, on the other hand, in 2008 those of Desio, Giussano, Monza and Ornago.

With the reflections of the citizens of the last year was made a DVD that addresses the issues that have emerged in the interviews. The concept of the City, the integration, the community, the activities and initiatives. Subjects who were treated by the same people, ordinary people with different age and more disparate social extraction, that freely expressed their judgments and their considerations on the territory in which they live.

To request the DVD just send an email to info@areaodeon.org, Leaving their data to be contacted later.
