Catalogo della mostra al museo Maxxi di Roma. Edizione italiana con testo a fronte in inglese. Copertura flessibile, pp 324, con numerose illustrazioni a colori. The exhibition intends to put forward some of the most important trends of creative explorations of the contemporary reality intensively incarnated in the cityÕs development and destiny. It will present some 36 artists, architects, filmmakers, musicians, dancers, researchers, activists with their diverse forms of expressions negotiating between critical reflections of recent history of conflicts, through archiving and re-enacting memories, and prospections of the future, through attempts of urban transformation and global outreaching, periodically interrupted by urgent problems and frustrations of the present.

It will be structured in several sections reflecting efforts to build homes in a highly complicated urban context to accommodate different intellectual claims and artistic imaginations as well as various political positions.
