Gaia De Megni's 'Per un'antologia delle ombre' at Casa della Memoria

Gaia De Megni's solo exhibition 'Per un'antologia delle ombre' at Casa della Memoria in Milan runs until September 13, 2026. Curated by Salvatore Cristofaro and supported by Careof, the show coincides with the 80th anniversary of the Italian Republic and universal suffrage. De Megni delves into archival materials from ANED and Istituto Parri, uncovering female partisans whose stories were marginalized. The central installation 'Medagliere alle Amanti' subverts military honor displays with fragile paper plant silhouettes, emphasizing the precariousness of memory. The video 'Afelio' premieres on June 2, expanding the temporal scope. The exhibition critiques official historiography and institutional recognition, transforming archival gaps into critical reflection.
