It includes sections on AlbumArte (Anteprima), AlbumArte|VideoArtForum, performances, the "Donne (non più) anonime – Confronto sul femminicidio" project, and 18 unpublished conversations between artists and curators. Since its founding, AlbumArte has collaborated with major institutions such as the Galleria Nazionale di Roma, MAXXI, Istituti Italiani di Cultura in Istanbul and Prague, Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, Mondriaan Fonds, the Slovak Ministry of Culture, IILA, Lithuanian Council for Culture, and the National Gallery of Art in Vilnius.
