In Latina since 2005 every day has been "Contemporary Day", because for 18 years the city has become, through the widespread action of MAD, a continuously evolving, fluid and complex exhibition space that interacts for artists with public bodies and private activities. MAD Museo d'Arte Diffusa is a cultural association that operates in the territory of Latina and its province with episodes in Italy and abroad with this widespread museum formula. Contemporary art, exhibitions, installations, street art blends with everyday activities, be it the world of work, crafts, tourism, training and pure cultural activity understood as conviviality, free time, entertainment but also professional in-depth study, teaching and social solidarity. Also interesting are the synaesthetic moments, in the relationship with food, with sound and music, dance and theatre, cinema and literature, the diffusion of the socio-cultural values ​​of legality, civil rights, the difference of gender, of inclusion up to the transformation of living and working spaces, assistance and even healthcare. The exhibitions range from the bookshop to the café, from the cinema to the foyer of a theatre, from the Music Conservatory to the Lazio Industrial Consortium, from the hospital to the dentist's office, from the dance school to the language school, from the restaurant to the pub, from the museum civic to the archaeological area, from the park to the pedestrian area; the hotel hall becomes an exhibition space together with the shirt shop, in the garden of the municipal building the sculpture exhibitions and in the parks the painted and recovered benches are dedicated to freedom of information and to the memory of the victims of the mafia. The industrial consortium of Tor Tre Ponti becomes a contemporary museum, the MADXI, and an art collection of the Pontine School unfolds in the two thousand square meters of common spaces. Installations and sculptures also at the music university, on the lido benches like open-air paintings facing the sea and in the neighborhoods around the city even the electrical cabins speak the language of contemporaneity and street art. The museum network thickens in collaborations with local museums, with other cultural and musical activities and even jazz music in the winter and summer festivals becomes a channel in which art and beauty can be reflected. Contemporary awaits you in Latina every day!
