Magic Carpets Exhibition at AlbumArte in Rome
The Magic Carpets project, part of the Creative Europe program and curated by Benedetta Carpi De Resmini, is hosted by AlbumArte in Rome in collaboration with Latitudo. The exhibition features artists Hrvoslava Brkušić (Croatia, 1982) and Melanie Garland (Chile, 1988), invited by curator Giulia Pardini. The theme is migration, explored through maps depicting flows, embroidery as a revolutionary gesture, and a video focusing on daily arrivals in Rome. A large river installation symbolizes the flow of lives and stories beyond statistics. The show also documents past residencies abroad by Grossi Maglioni in Serbia and Gian Maria Tosatti in Riga.
