This is the catalogue for the exhibition at Fondazione MAXXI, which explores the many facets of Pasolini's political engagement. Texts, images, movies, notes, and documents will narrate the beginning of a protest that has endured to this day, with interpretations of Pasolini's work is seen through the voices of contemporary artists.
