The Milk of Dreams is not an exhibition about the pandemic, but it
inevitably registers the upheavals of our era. In times like this, as
the history of La Biennale di Venezia clearly shows, art and artists
can help us imagine new modes of coexistence and infinite new
possibilities of transformation.”
“Cecilia Alemani’s Exhibition imagines new harmonies, hitherto
unthinkable cohabitations and surprising solutions - said President
Roberto Cicutto - 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.”
