Radio GAMeC 30

On March 22nd, 2020, during the early stages of the Coronavirus health-crises, Lorenzo Giusti, with the support of Lara Facco and Leonardo Merlini, founded Radio GAMeC, a multi-format digital platform set out to cultivate a cultural discourse, keeping the narrative focused on the present context and on imagining a new future. Radio GAMeC has been included in the UNESCO Museums around the world in the face of COVID-19 report as one of the world’s best museum projects developed during the lockdown period.

After 66 live appointments on Instagram, the five evenings of Radio GAMeC Real Live, the 16 episodes on board the camper of Radio GAMeC PopUp together with Radio Popolare and the rich schedule of daily appointments that have accompanied listeners for two months with Radio GAMeC on Clubhouse, Radio GAMeC 30 is dedicated to institution’s key anniversary and in continuity with the dialogue-based identity that has always characterized it, making it an observatory over the changes that have shaped the last 30 years of history.

Starting from the point of view of personalities from the world of art and culture who have lived through the experiences of the last three decades first hand, with the aim of recounting aspects of a complex and changing reality, Radio GAMeC 30 proposes a journey in stages, guided by Lorenzo Giusti and Ilaria Gianni.

From the birth of the World Wide Web in 1991 to the fall of Kabul in 2021, passing through the cloning of Dolly the sheep in 1996 and Black Lives Matter in 2013, Radio GAMeC 30 presents a schedule of 30 appointments, one for each year, in a narrative marked by events that, for historical-political, technical-scientific, social or environmental reasons, have represented the opening of a new path or a fracture in a common path. The episodes are broadcast as podcasts and distributed on the main free streaming platforms.
