Opportunities of the crisis is the time to take advantage

Making Opportunities Out Of A Crisis….it’s not just an expression or saying but something with foundation!
Scientific, sociological and even etymological. From the greek word “orino” {separate}, the crisis always separates before and after, good from bad, two conditions or different times.

We can not pretend that things will change if we keep doing the same things“.

The crisis is the greatest blessing for people and nations, because the crisis brings progress. Creativity comes from anxiety as sure as day comes after night. And ‘in the crisis there is inventiveness, discoveries and great strategies. Who overcomes crisis, overcomes himself, without being ‘passed‘ […] (from “The World as I see it,” 1931).

Opportunities of the crisis, push for change

If we keep doing the same things, waking up in the morning, going to work, complaining because our work doesn’t satisfy us, going home at night, turning on the TV and finally going to bed, things will not change. Never. There is a need for a tear (Baricco), a push, an opportunity out of a crisis. Exactly.
Since we have been talking about it for a while and we keep on talking about it, now it’s time to exploit the opportunities of the crisis.

Yet no one does it and everything continues equally between the complaints and the general discontent.
The publishing industry continues to be in crisis. Journalists are being fired, but magazines continue printing copies of copies, and there are still online editors who decide they want to turn their content into a printed magazine.

The book market is in crisis – yet more and more small writers arrive on the scene and not a day goes by when I don’t  read that someone is about to publish their first book.
The architecture world is in crisis, everything that has been built is old even before it’s finished.
Fashion is, in my opinion, in crisis. A different kind of crisis. The numbers this time are not in the red, but what is in red or white are the ideas.
Despite Raf Simons leaving Dior denouncing the excessive speed and superficiality of the fashion system that does not allow the proper reflection and production of news, everything remains the same.
Collection ready-to-wear, cruise collection, haute couture collection, all multiplied by two seasons with the addition of the capsules accessories, makeup and other gadgets.
It should not be strange that even those who used to make us dream are now all guilty of falling into one, albeit magnificent, monotonous triviality.

Confirmation of this trend, that is leading us to reclose constantly on ourselves, has been given to me by Giambattista Valle and his latest Couture collection and his wonderful, abundant, cloudy, tulle dresses. They are beautiful, we would like to wear them at least once in life, but it is also time for something to change, and those infinite layers of tulle are beginning to tell another story.

Those who look to exploit the opportunities of the crisis

As well as rappers, artists, and in general all of the creative people we need something to fight for, something to rebel against, a necessity to meet or simply an opportunity to cling to, so it’s time to do something.

In these times of crisis, when someone does something different, it can amaze us, it surprises us and it’s a winner! We are in times of crisis, but for this reason it can make us more willing to change. And who among us would not want to find that calculated illogic that makes us go where we did not imagine we would go before?

Few interesting initiatives, but in Rome something happens. There are young Roman guys, committed and radically chic, who have the courage to come out with an independent canvas, somewhere between criticism and so much solidarity.

Who decide everyday to sit in a different street and type stories instantly.

Who take under utilized ideas, in passing, without identitfiable spaces and turn them into something different.

This has happened at the Tiburtina station. The new station of Rome, in its contemporary architecture made of sheet metal and amorphous objects on a multi-height space. A simple square becomes an urban garden, a mini garden and a small oasis to relax, stop, think, or wait for something to change, or that someone purchases the courage to exploit the opportunities of the crisis.
