St Pau Dialogue: October 23 at 6:00 PM Vernissage: October 23 at 7:00 PMA

In collaboration with
PRIMA Foundation – PRIMA NEXUS-NESS program – NexusArt
The exhibition featuring works by students from the Academy of Fine Arts of Rome, selected through a competition organized by the European NexusArt program, curated by the PRIMA Foundation and the NEXUS-NESS project, opens on October 23, 2024, in Barcelona. The theme revolves around sustainability, water, food, and climate security. The exhibition, titled A punt per començar coordinated by director Cecilia Casorati, presents 14 contemporary art pieces created by 24 students from the School of Decoration and the School of Cinema, Photography, and Audiovisual Arts, under the supervision of professors from ABA Roma.
The selected artworks, addressing eco-hydrological and socio-environmental challenges stemming from the current climate crisis, are the result of a science-art collaboration promoted by NexusArt. The co-creation of these works by ABA Roma students involved collaboration between professors and young researchers from environmental, social, and humanistic sciences, and engineering departments, from universities and research centers partnering in the transdisciplinary NEXUS-NESS project.
