Unannounced, The Other Voices of Silence: Collective Exhibition in Milan

A collective exhibition titled "Unannounced, The Other Voices of Silence" is on view at LAMPO in Scalo Farini, Milan, curated by Marta Orsola Sironi. The show explores the physical, performative, individual, and social role of the voice in contemporary times, focusing on non-heteronormative multiplicity. It brings together emerging artists from Italy and the UK, addressing themes of identity, body, and trauma. Artists include James Cabaniuk, whose works examine queer identity and liberation from trauma; Adelisa Selimbašić, who promotes body positivity and feminism; Hannah Lim, who critiques stereotypes of Asian women through colonial design references; and Zayn Qahtani, who uses amethyst to explore the self and its antithesis. The exhibition questions whether voice remains an inalienable right in a liquid society, as defined by Zygmunt Bauman, and responds to contemporary media outrage and social media intangibility. The display politicizes human and social confrontation, giving visibility to silenced communities including queer, women, and those affected by colonialism and discrimination.
