A Milano vanno in mostra gli arredi della Casa Bianca. Design e architettura per parlare di propaganda
An exhibition titled 'The White House. Domestic Propaganda' has opened at Dropcity, an experimental center in the tunnels beneath Milan's Central Station, as part of the city's Design Week. Curated by students from the Politecnico di Milano's Interior Design Laboratory, the show critically examines the White House as a domestic space for political propaganda, using installations, models, and drawings to explore how its architecture and furnishings project cultural and social meanings.
The exhibition matters because it frames the White House not just as a residence but as a continuously evolving symbolic and anthropological device. It analyzes how each presidency, through changes in decor and protocol, leaves its imprint and uses the space to stage an idea of society, connecting the personal and the collective while reflecting on crucial themes from integration to war. The project highlights design and interior architecture as powerful tools for political narrative and cultural critique.
