CASTEDDU MON AMOUR – CAGLIARI – DECEMBER 13 TO 16

A provocation? Also. A questionable choice? Maybe. One option considered and a real need? Definitely. The tenth Marina Café Noir is also this, a thought-provoking, necessary and, we hope, courage, and in a moment of crisis and economic uncertainty.

A choice that has brought us, after years of dating, and inventions based products by Serge Latouche, Roberto Saviano, Erri de Luca, Marc Augé, Paco Ignacio Taibo II (and many others) to suspend the September edition, a painful but necessary decision, and look inside and around. To re-discover the city, and re-discover that we still love. Even in December.

Casteddu Mon Amour is then the consequence, the resulting daughter and ten years of experience, and at the same time initiating a reflection on the meaning of our work, it is, above all, our declaration of love to the city and the island of Sardinia. Statement that it is also (and how can it not be?) Reaction to the crisis with the weapons of culture, celebration of ten years of books, meetings, utopias association Chourmo / MCN and, again, the beginning of a new adventure.

Where will it lead? We’ll see, the future is not written, as we said a few years ago citing the Clash. As well, we are sure of what we want today to contribute to the cultural renaissance of the city of Cagliari and its role in motor-Sardinia, continue to support the promotion of reading and cultural projects and citizens who appreciate that we feel like, share as much as possible in site resources (not many, but so) that we have the honor and the burden of managing.

Today more than ever we feel the need to do exactly what we did ten years ago, when it began the history of the Marina Caf̩ Noir Рtotally self-financed and independently Рbut it can and have to do it today with some euro and more responsibility, in dialogue with the share culturally most active of our territories and also a comparison with strong institutions, but always in a clear and constructive.

Make a four-day (plus a long tail of events in local schools) made of meetings, debates, readings, concerts, soundtracks, exhibitions and sharing of knowledge in the neighborhood that hosted us for ten years and we have helped to animate and transform: this is our goal this year, with the opening to the other historic district of Villanova, where we will symbolically close this issue.

Above all, just as ten years ago, we will do with those writers, scholars, artists, actors, musicians, artists Sardinian (plus a few friends “sardizzato”, the likes of Gianmaria Testa, Wu Ming II, Marco Baliani) we hear similar and we recognize that vocation “internationalist” who always try to make our own, and we believe Cagliari and Sardinia have and should continue to have. MCN good at all.
