Diego Cibelli: A Life Ahead

Art & Exhibits

Galerie Mezzanin

Diego Cibelli presents an exhibition that considers notions of futurity and personal trajectory. Through a practice that blends installation, photographic fragments and sculptural assemblage, Cibelli interrogates memory, migration and the acts of anticipating life to come. The works deploy found materials, layered imagery and subtle spatial interventions to create a provisional narrative space where biography, material traces and collective histories converge.

Opening : Thursday 21 May, 18:00 – Talk by Elise Roche at 19:00.

Forza Silenziosa – Sofia Cacciapaglia

Art & Exhibits

MABE Gallery

MABE Gallery presents Forza Silenziosa, the second solo exhibition of Sofia Cacciapaglia, whose paintings evoke a quiet, fluid world where forms, bodies, and landscapes gently merge, expressing a soft yet powerful feminine presence rooted in emotion, connection, and subtle energy.

Her work emphasizes transformation, intimacy, and dreamlike atmospheres, where silence carries intensity. Using reclaimed cardboard from her Milan neighborhood, she connects to the ethos of Arte Povera—a movement theorized by Germano Celant and associated with artists like Michelangelo Pistoletto and Jannis Kounellis—by embracing ‘poor’ materials and their histories; however, she diverges through her distinctly figurative and painterly approach, transforming humble surfaces into poetic images that bridge material awareness with narrative, imagination, and contemporary femininity.

Opening: Thursday 7 May, 16:00 – 21:00

ruine l’archive / archive dread / مَنفى الذاكرة

Art & Exhibits

FMAC

Curators Ghalas Charara and Rita Elhajj present a first collaborative exhibition that scrutinizes the collection through a shared, probing gaze. The presentation assembles works from the collection alongside archival materials and curatorial interventions, foregrounding fragments, indexes and ruptures.
It interrogates the ruinous logics of archives, the anxieties encoded in preservation, and the ways memory is displaced or exiled. The show stages dialogues between history, material traces and acts of remembrance.
