Identities Beyond Borders
Exhibition |
18th June 2026 – 16th August 2026
Identities Beyond Borders, an exhibition project promoted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Farnesina Collection, offers a wide-ranging reflection on the concept of identity in a present marked by ecological crises, migration, geopolitical instability and cultural fractures. Conceived as an itinerant project in three venues and developed in collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institutes, the exhibition has gradually moved beyond its initial framework, driven by the strength and urgency of the themes it addresses.
The exhibition becomes a space for reflecting on the ways in which individual and collective identities are constructed, transformed and redefined over time, within a geography that has always brought different cultures, languages and visions into relation. The dialogue between generations and heterogeneous artistic languages activates new forms of critical imagination and historical reinterpretation, questioning the present through the relationship between memory, belonging and transformation.
Around this central nucleus, the exhibition unfolds through three thematic sections: Roots of Resistance, Geographies of Detachment and Unstable Ecologies, each addressing the tensions of the contemporary world from plural perspectives
