Magical Realism Against the Harshness of the Suburbs

Magischer Realismus gegen die Härte der Vorstadt

French-Chilean artist Tohé Commaret presents an exhibition at MMK Zollamt in Frankfurt featuring quiet, still images that highlight invisible care work and feminist solidarity. The show focuses on women who silently enable events like weddings and galas without being seen, exploring female alliances and the attempt to reclaim new narratives from the suburbs.

A new cultural space that works on the memory of the city (also through postcards) has been born in Rome

A Roma è nato un nuovo spazio culturale che lavora sulla memoria della città (anche attraverso le cartoline)

A new cultural space called URBS has opened in Rome's Testaccio district, founded by architect Andrea D'Antrassi in collaboration with Giovanni Colombara. The space debuted in 2024 as "The Smallest Museum by URBS," a 20-square-meter venue housing over 1,600 historical postcards of the city, creating a visual archive spanning different eras. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions, such as the current show "Not Mine, Not Yours" by Iranian artist Mehrdad Shadrooh, curated by Barbara Blasi, which draws from a family video-photo archive covering over eighty years of history. A commercial space has also been opened in Trastevere.
