Festival of Foreign Academies and Cultural Institutes in Rome
Now in its third edition, the Festival of Foreign Academies and Cultural Institutes in Rome seeks to celebrate the generative relationship between the city of Rome and the foreign Academies and Cultural Institutes that make the city’s cultural landscape so unique.
This year, the Festival, hosted by MACRO and curated by Saverio Verini, is entitled Sublime cliché. The event comprises an exhibition and a public programme, both developed from a selection of past and present Fellows affiliated with the various Academies and Cultural Institutes. The exhibition aims to offer an oblique perspective on Rome and its evocative power, presenting a fragmented and anti-rhetorical portrait of the city.
Representing the transdisciplinary research fostered by the Istituto Svizzero, the exhibition programme of Sublime cliché will feature works by Hunter Longe (Fellow Roma Calling, 2024/2025) alongside Hayahisa Tomiyasu (Fellow Roma Calling, 2020/2021).
