(un)common ground with Marta Foresti

In this episode of un(common) ground, Marta Foresti is joined by Adama Sanneh of the Moleskine Foundation and Fran Sanderson of Figurative to explore the uneasy relationship between money, creativity and systems change. They unpack how funding ecosystems are shifting or resisting change at the intersection of culture, policy, and innovation. From pragmatic tensions to radical reimaginings, this episode is about power, access, and the borders of investment.

This episode features Emilia Terragni and Lwando Xaso. The topic of this one is infrastructure and borders.  Inspired in part by conversations at Prada Frames earlier this year - specifically exploring the idea of borders as physical infrastructure like walls and fences, the role of design and architecture, but  also other forms of infrastructure such as norms and institutions, including the law, rules, regulations and the constitution. 

(un)common ground is a brand new podcast presented by LAGO Collective with LAGO’s Founder and CEO Marta Foresti.  We’re exploring borders in a whole new way, with unexpected stories at the edge of policy, ecology, infrastructure, money, sound and AI. This first season features incredible friends and colleagues: Emilia Terragni, Natsai Audrey Chieza, Adama Sanneh, Lwando Xaso, Francesa Sanderson, Tiziana Alocci and Talia Augustidis.  Smart. Unexpected. Necessary.  Tune in.
