The Roman gallery is expanding its spaces at Via Odoardo Beccari 8/10/12 in Rome and invites everyone to visit ‘Fatmah’, a new collective and international exhibition, open until 31 October. Brimming with meaning and conceptual layers, the exhibition presents a dialogue on the theme of new possibilities, future projections, and good fortune, all with a strong flavour of Middle East tradition.

Trough this interview we explore the deeper facets of the project that culminated in the formation of the Italian Pavilion at the 2024 Biennale. Luca Cerizza elucidates his personal vision and the realisation of curatorial practice, characterised by multiple encounters and a direct engagement with the sensory realm. As he himself notes, ‘It was probably music that led me to more avant-garde forms of contemporary art.’ Music, sound, and auditory perception, which are prominently featured in this project, have consistently been fundamental components of his work and an expression of a distinct curatorial identity.

This interview delves into the more complex aspects of human relationships and their interaction with being and the surrounding environment. The artist expresses his preference for art that avoids ostentation and luxury, instead favouring universal materials and words—tools that are often underestimated. In this dialogue, we explore art as both a social study and an experience designed to leave a lasting impression on the observer and their way of thinking.
