Umani Troppo Umani (Oggi) Exhibition at Museo di Roma Explores Human Condition

The exhibition 'Umani Troppo Umani (Oggi)' at Museo di Roma in Palazzo Braschi (June 17-30, 2026) features works by students of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma, curated by Anna Maiorano with critical texts by Livia Romano. The show investigates the contemporary human condition through themes of subjectivity, the sacred, and existentialism. Artists include Federica Bonomi, Gabriella Pitarresi, Giulia Battista, Sabino De Nichilo, Valerio Pilotti, Yanran Liu, Letizia Paoletti, Sara Marcelletti, Lisa di Pietro, Andrea Rupolo, Alessia Pagano, Giulio Martelotti, Emanuele Zaccari, Giuseppe Antonio Lo Presti, Michelangelo Torretti, and Paola Ricci. Works range from wire sculptures and textile installations to photography, video, painting, and performance. The exhibition is divided into two sections: the first focuses on existentialist positioning and female subjectivity, the second on critical reflection and sociopolitical engagement. Key pieces include Bonomi's 'Corpi effimeri' (2026), Pitarresi's 'Voto Muto' (2026), Battista's 'Tracce dell’essere' (2026), De Nichilo's video-performance 'Amaltea' (2025), and Ricci's performance 'Il Cuscino della Sposa' (2026). The show culminates in a message of freedom and peace, posing radical questions about humanity's relationship with the sacred.
