The ultimatum the Municipality of Rome gave Teatro Valle was clear: the eviction will take place in three days. We have very little time to save this experience, dozens of intellectuals from all over the world, from David Harvey to Stefano Rodotà, from Slavoj Zizek to Étienne Balibar, from Michael Hardt to Salvatore Settis to Ugo Mattei to representatives of prestigious European Museums, performing and contemporary arts centres, Foundations and cultural institutions are mobilizing to defend this experience with this international call. But now only a mobilization of citizens and institutions can save this cultural and political symbol!

Three years ago Teatro Valle was about to be sold to private interests. Citizens and actors decided to occupy it. But they did not stop there, they decided to open a new path: a great and groundbreaking institution based on collective participation, Teatro Valle Commons Foundation, which was establishes by more than 5,600 members. Dozens of lawyers and hundreds of citizens have written the statute together. A unique experience, awarded at international level, but the Municipality of Rome is still deaf.

The solutions to transform this innovative Foundation into a fully legal, recognized and working reality are there. It would suffice that the institutions sit together with citizens, artists, workers entertainment workers to experience a new participated way of managing public goods, providing spaces of freedom and self-determination.

To do this we will deliver directly to the Mayor of Rome Marino and the head of the culture department Marinelli thousands of signatures of Italian and European citizens, artists and intellectuals. ALL TOGETHER WE CAN CONVINCE THEM, SIGN NOW AND SHARE WITH EVERYONE!

(if you represent a cultural institution, an arts or research center, a foundation, an arts collective, a museum, etc. please send us your adhesion to the following e-mail address as well, specifying the organization / institution: internationalcall.valle@gmail.com)
