Stefano Cagol's Climate Crisis Exhibition 'We are all Nauru – Every Island is Melting' Opens at CARME in Brescia

exhibition · 2026-10-15

From September 25 to November 15, 2026, CARME in Brescia will host 'We are all Nauru – Every Island is Melting,' curated by Ilaria Bignotti and Camilla Remondina. This exhibition showcases works by Stefano Cagol (born in Trento, 1969), who explores the geopolitical, economic, and cultural effects of climate change. A key piece is 'Global Warning' (2019–2022), a neon and sound installation located in the Church of Santi Filippo e Giacomo, which contemplates 'The Bouvet Island.' Other notable installations include the two-channel 4K video 'We Are All Nauru. Greenland' (2024–2026) and 'We are the Flood.' Cagol’s performances emphasize the fragility of the environment, building on his role in co-curating the Republic of Nauru's pavilion at the 61st Venice Biennale, and advocating for collective action to combat the climate crisis.
