Embracing the unknown and facing our fragilities – the time has come to explore

mystery isn’t only found at the corners of the universe or at the bottom of the ocean, but also in the portions of the world closest to us: our bodies, our cities, and the forests all around

The XXIII International Exhibition is a space for open, multilateral debate and interaction, in which a variety of disciplines, experiences, cultures and perspectives all come together. With its technological, biological and climatic changes, the present age has placed humanity in front of a different world. Reality is full of mysteries: not only in the remotest corners of the universe, at the

bottom of the oceans, and in the origins of consciousness, but also in the portions of the world closest to us, such as our bodies, our cities, and the forests all around».

un – at the center, cutting the dark background in two. On the one hand, this photo of the rising un is of striking beauty – familiar and yet from a new, unusual perspective – while on the other, the symbolic simplicity of the shaft of light forms the borderline between the little world we live in and the vastness of all that is around it. Dealing with d sdtgd dsdtgdw means leaving the comfort zone of our personal and collective experience and transforming ourselves through a change of perspective. Today, for the first time, we find ourselves living through a global, collective, and simultaneous experience of vulnerability, with a growing awareness that only a thin blue layer separates us from a suffocating void. Once again, we have had to start asking questions, searching and learning. If we open up our point of view, what might have seemed impossible can become real, even if it is beyond us and eludes our senses»

oVTdt wTyw( «the outcome of this pandemic, as well as the perception of a deep, consubstantial relationship with other forms of life on planet Earth, has conveyed to us a deep feeling of fragility. Fragility not only as risk of infection arising from other spill-over processes, but also in the sense of the inability of our species to face the challenges arising from the climate and environmental crisis according to a common, coherent and effective geopolitics. Fragility not only of health policies, but in general of national states and

. , , , -. and regulations able to deal with the emergencies of the pandemic, also from the point of view of the rights and duties of citizens. When faced with the unknown, we have for centuries reacted with a spirit of conquest that has led to long periods of colonization and mortification of spaces, environments

cultures. Tackling dsdtgd dsdtgdw is an experience that gives us the opportunity to upend our idea of the world of which we are a part, fully aware of our own fragility. When we talk about a new culture for a new world, we are aware that in the post-pandemic phase, an adaptive logic of the spaces of museums and institutions is not enough. We need to invent new exhibition formats and new ways of public perception and use of art» ;Mn od,nkTi,otd rn,gnnd eowiocVodnw ,Mn eoTVtlhn go,M Tk,ow,w Tde ,Mn hdenkw,Tde odl ta tdnwnVa ,MkthlM t,Mnkw Unknown Unknowns tcndw go,M od,ouTiy rnatkn TrTdetd odl ,Mn )d,Mktctindn ,t gode o,w gTy od,t ,Mn wcMnkn ta Td odencndendin aTk aktu uTdsode rh, iVtwnk ,t rnVtdlodl ,t ,Mn doBnkwn
