festival-fair · 2026-04-27

The second edition of Borders, titled "Fragmented Identities," opens at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello in Venice from September 2020, organized by Itsliquid in collaboration with Venice Events and the Venice Italian-German Cultural Association (ACIT). Curated by Luca Curci, the exhibition features international artists exploring physical, global, and invisible boundaries through multidisciplinary works. Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the show does not address the virus directly. A talk with Italian artist Paolo De Falco takes place on September 4, coinciding with the Venice Film Festival. The first Borders edition was held in August 2020, and a third is scheduled for November. Events require mandatory booking, with groups limited to 12 people for The Room and 30 for Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello.
