With Wool. Silk. Resistance., the Museum Angewandte Kunst focuses exclusively on rugs, carpets, and tapestries for the first time in 45 years, at a moment of renewed global interest in handmade textiles. Rather than a traditional art-historical approach, the exhibition explores these works through the lens of resistance: how rugs, carpets, and tapestries can express an “aesthetics of textile resistance.” It highlights contemporary international artists who engage with social, political, and environmental issues, using textile art as a flexible and evolving medium. Resistance here is seen as an experience of difference, generating diverse aesthetic and artistic expressions. The exhibition addresses political opposition, resilience, and endurance, confronting power structures, discrimination, trauma, and environmental destruction.

An intense and evocative encounter between two artistic languages — photography and poetry — and two major figures of Italian culture, Ugo Mulas and Eugenio Montale, who engage with the same subject: the impression and concept of the Ligurian landscape. Through the photographer’s precise and lyrical gaze, the images convey the essence, light, and silence of a territory that transforms into an inner space and poetic vision. In this context, the exhibition Ugo Mulas. Ossi di Seppia. Per Eugenio Montale, hosted in the home of Gabriele d’Annunzio, creates an ideal convergence of three major figures of Italian culture, weaving together photography, poetry, and the memory of place into a single cultural horizon. The exhibition is curated by Guido Risicato and the Ugo Mulas Archive.
