Domestic Displacement | Group show | MAC, Gibellina, Italy

Domestic Displacement, curated by Giulia Ingarao and Antonio Leone, is a group exhibition exploring contemporary forms of displacement: physical, cultural, and symbolic. Bringing together fifteen international artists at the MAC Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Ludovico Corrao, the project investigates themes of migration, memory, identity, vulnerability, and the unstable relationship between individuals and places.Within this framework, William Kentridge presents Porter Series: Espagne Ancienne (Porter with Dividers) (2001–2008) and I Ask This Stone (2023), works that reflect on fragmented histories, colonial memory, and the continuous rewriting of landscapes and identities through images and traces. His layered drawings and collages evoke unstable geographies shaped by time, erasure, and transformation. Shirin Neshat addresses the fracture between homeland and exile, exploring questions of identity, belonging, and the tensions between personal experience and collective histories. Her work examines how displacement affects the body, language, and cultural memory. Paolo Icaro, with Personae (1991), investigates vulnerability and the loss of individuality through sculpture. Moving beyond traditional forms, the work reflects on violence, depersonalization, and the ways historical conflicts leave traces on both bodies and collective consciousness. Together, these practices contribute to the exhibition’s reflection on how to inhabit a world defined by instability, transformation, and constant negotiation.

WAEL SHAWKY | Drama 1882 | Solo show | Grand Palais, Paris, France

WAEL SHAWKY | Drama 1882 | Solo show | Grand Palais, Paris, France

With captivating videos, sculptures, and meticulous historical reconstructions, Wael Shawky participates in the Saison Méditerranée 2026 at the Grand Palais in Paris, after the success at the Venice Biennale 2024, questioning the authority of written history and its ambiguities. Colonel Ahmed Urabi, peasant turned founder of the Egyptian Nationalist Party, led the uprising and worked to return Egypt to its people. What event in 1882 could have imploded his popular movement, precipitated the bombardment of Alexandria by British forces and caused his exile? With meticulous attention to detail, Wael Shawky stages a musical, theatrical and magical tale filmed in a historic Alexandria theater, against a striking pictorial backdrop. The performers and soundtrack seem to be part of the same moving painting. The sets move in slow motion, while the characters seem hypnotized, evolving in a slow, spellbinding choreography. Drama takes on many faces: it can be entertainment, catastrophe, or the doubt inherent in the story.

MARZIA MIGLIORA | Lotta per l'esistenza | Solo show | Arte Sella, Borgo Valsugana, Italy

MARZIA MIGLIORA | Lotta per l'esistenza | Solo show | Arte Sella, Borgo Valsugana, Italy

On Saturday, June 21 2025, Arte Sella inaugurated the solo exhibition of Marzia Migliora, Lotta per l’esistenza (Struggle for Existence), a project unfolding between the ground floor of Villa Strobele and the interior of Malga Costa. Curated by Lorenzo Fusi, the exhibition brings together three groups of works created by the artist in response to the unique landscape of Val di Sella. The exhibition marks the beginning of a new collaboration that will culminate in a project dedicated to the reopening of a mountain path connecting the two exhibition spaces. The trail, damaged by the Vaia storm, is currently being restored and will soon become accessible again. During her numerous site visits, Migliora collected reflections on the landscape and the history of the area in two notebooks, which became the foundation for her artistic project. Lotta per l’esistenza explores, through poetic and visual language, the relationship between nature, human intervention, and ecological transformation, questioning the forces reshaping the natural world in a time marked by climate instability and environmental crisis. The solo exhibition evokes an increasingly hybrid and fluid world, which in her practice becomes an ironic, dreamlike, and at times unsettling dimension where different forms of life, matter, and imagination coexist.
