The curatorial choice focuses on the female artists present in the Farnesina Collection, in celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of its founding. After Berlin, the exhibition will travel to Vilnius and Valletta.
The curator highlights the concepts of identity, detachment, and coexistence: “This exhibition aims to open up a different perspective and underline the importance of questioning human centrality and fostering a deeper dialogue with the planet and other natural forms, seeking to break away from a relationship based on dominance and exploitation”.
This perspective is reflected in the intergenerational dialogue that runs through the exhibition, creating a comparison between artistic visions and diverse sensitivities, all united by the need to imagine new languages of coexistence. The exhibition opens with the work Fibonacci (1975) by Mario Merz, a symbol of transcending identity boundaries and embracing a global, intercultural vision.
