As part of the events related to the ongoing exhibition, Fondazione MAST presents a talk with anthropologist and writer Marco Aime, who explores the concept of “community” in its various forms. How does a community come into being, and how does it come to an end? What does it mean to be part of one and to keep it alive? What are the mechanisms that allow it to function and endure?
