NABA Students Explore Archival Practices in 'Voicing the Archive' at Triennale Milano

exhibition · 2026-04-27

The exhibition 'Voicing the Archive' at Triennale Milano, running from May 2023, presents works by students from NABA's Visual Arts and Curatorial Studies departments. Curated by Andris Brinkmanis and Marco Scotini, the show investigates archival practices through contemporary art languages. It features performances in the exhibition space and the Triennale Garden, alongside a talk titled 'Yesterday I went diving into the Archive: Nine Conversations' where students and alumni discuss memory and archives. The event also includes the presentation of Marco Scotini's book 'L'inarchiviabile. L'archivio contro la storia' (Meltemi editore) in a conversation with curator Luca Cerizza and artist Luca Vitone. Scotini notes that the exhibition is part of a diptych, following '(im)possible Ecologies' at Rome's Orto Botanico in June 2022, both addressing core themes of NABA's Visual Arts Department: ecology and history as interdependent concepts.
