Villa Medici's "Oracoli al di là del mare": Marea Art Project Curates Fellows' Final Exhibition

The exhibition "Oracoli al di là del mare" at Villa Medici in Rome concludes the residency year of its fellows. Curated by Marea Art Project, the show brings together visual arts, music, writing, and architecture. The title derives from Palestinian artist Vera Tamari's work "Oracles from the Sea" (1998). In an interview with Cristiano Seganfreddo, Marea Art Project founders discuss the exhibition's genesis, the Mediterranean as a space of memory and conflict, and the fellows' practices. The exhibition includes works by Marie-Claire Messouma Manlanbien, Camille Lévy Sarfati, Randa Maroufi, Farnaz Modarresifar, Hugo Lindenberg, Arianna Brunori, Alice Visentin, Giulia Lorusso, Marin Fouqué, Adriano Tramontozzi, Diaty Diallo, Nastasia Alberti, Elitza Gueorguieva, Enrique Ramírez, Thu-Van Tran, Ben Russell, Alia Bengana, Jacques Kaufmann, Paul Maheke, and Baptiste Pinteaux. The curators highlight the fellows' engagement with political and poetic themes, including colonialism, migration, and memory. Marea Art Project, based in Praiano, Italy, emphasizes its peripheral position as a critical vantage point. The exhibition runs at Villa Medici in Rome.
