On Friday 17 April 2026 at 5:30 pm, at Teatro Dal Verme, Anselm Kiefer will take part in a conversation with Natacha Fabbri, historian of science and philosophy, moderated by Gabriella Belli, curator of the exhibition. The artist will reflect on the philosophical and symbolic foundations of his practice in a dialogue that connects ancient knowledge with contemporary perspectives, exploring the intersections between art, science, and the transformation of matter that underpin his work. The event is part of the public programme for *Kiefer. The Alchemists* at Palazzo Reale, Milan. Admission is free, subject to reservation via Eventbrite (from 28 March at 10:00 am). The talk will be held in English with simultaneous translation into Italian. Please note: reservations for the 26 February event are fully booked. If places become available due to cancellations, attendees on the waiting list or without a reservation may be admitted until full capacity is reached. Early arrival is recommended (15 minutes before the start).

Seeds are the foundation of life: they sustain us, preserve biodiversity and cultural knowledge, and symbolize renewal and change. *Seeds: Reclaiming Roots, Sowing Futures* explores their layered meanings as a reflection of our relationship with the earth and one another. Featuring fourteen international artists, the exhibition approaches seeds from ecological, cultural, and symbolic perspectives, addressing themes such as migration, colonialism, indigenous knowledge, food sovereignty, and collective resilience. Through sculptures, installations, photography, and video, the works connect art, ecology, and activism, reflecting on loss and regeneration while highlighting the political and poetic potential of shared growth. Like seeds themselves, the exhibition unfolds multiple narratives that reveal the complexity of the climate crisis and invite reflection on possible futures.

Fondazione Merz, the Museo Egizio in Turin, and the MAH – Musée d’art et d’histoire in Geneva present "GAZA. The Future Has an Ancient Heart", a major international exhibition that brings archaeology and contemporary art into dialogue to reveal the deep historical and cultural layers of Gaza beyond present-day narratives. The project brings together around eighty artefacts—from the Bronze Age to the Ottoman period—on loan from the MAH on behalf of the State of Palestine and from the Museo Egizio, alongside works by Palestinian and international contemporary artists. The display is enriched by archival photographs from UNRWA. The exhibition reflects on the destruction of cultural heritage and the urgent need to preserve memory, highlighting the universal value of history and identity. A rich public programme of events accompanies the show, involving a network of Italian and international cultural institutions.
