Prada Frames 2026 Symposium to Explore Image Culture in Milan's Santa Maria delle Grazie
The Basilica of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy, will host the annual Prada Frames symposium from April 19 to 21, 2026. Titled 'In Sight' and curated by Formafantasma, the event will delve into the influence of images and their relationship with society. It will feature discussions on historical methods of perception, the implications of digital imagery, political visuals, and attention economies. Sessions are set to take place in the Sacristy, designed by Donato Bramante, which showcases intarsia cabinets crafted by Domenico and Francesco Morone. Established in 2022, Prada Frames prioritizes concepts over products, aligning with Salone del Mobile 2026. The Basilica, constructed in 1463 and later modified by Bramante, is home to Leonardo da Vinci's 'The Last Supper.'
