Co-curator, MICROCLIMA

2016-2023.

Serra dei Giardini, Venice, IT.

Since 2016 I have co-curated, coordinated, and produced projects and exhibitions of MICROCLIMA, a cultural project founded in 2011 by Paolo Rosso. MICROCLIMA is based at the Serra dei Giardini in Venice, but it also has branches in other cities in Italy, India, and Mongolia. MICROCLIMA was born with the purpose of giving a new social and creative life to a public orangery that had been abandoned for years and was the first structure ever created for the International Art Exhibition that began in 1895. Through experimental synergies and actions generated by professionals and amateurs of all kinds, Microclima seeks to stimulate the interest of the discovery, or rediscovery, of a delimited area and its social, symbolic and cultural aspects that characterize it as such.

MICROCLIMA curates multiple initiatives and projects also outside of Italy, such as The Guwahati Research Program, an artistic residency based in the capital city of Assam, India and RedHero, a long-term local and international project built around Mongolian arts and culture.
