Cecilia Alemani’s Exhibition, on the other hand, imagines new
harmonies, hitherto unthinkable cohabitations and surprising solutions,
precisely because they distance themselves from anthropocentrism.
A journey at the end of which there are no losers, but where new
alliances are brought forth, generated by a dialogue between different
beings (some perhaps even produced by machines) with all the natural
elements that our planet (and perhaps others as well) presents to us.

The travelling companions (the artists) who accompany the Curator
all come from very different worlds. Cecilia tells us that there is a
majority of female artists and non-binary subjects, a choice I endorse
because it reflects the richness of the creative force of our time.
