This exhibition features works from five students of LABA: Beatrice Artunghi, Luca Balottin, Morgana Mattioli, Roberto Venturini, and Irene Vescovo. Under the curation of Stefano Castelli, titled Innerscapes, the showcase delves into themes of self-reflection through diverse media, including installation, painting, illustration, and video. Notable pieces are Mattioli's stop-motion Rianimati, Artunghi’s Trucidamente video, Vescovo's self-portraits, Venturini's mixed media work, and Balottin's exploration of material instability in Il terzogenito.
