The exhibition Arenella showcases drawings, models and imagery that record the existing and propose future visions for the Ex-Chimica site in Arenella that evolved from the survey.

This survey and proposals were developed by the students of Studio Tom Emerson (ETH) during this spring semester of 2025. The exhibition itself will be built during the 10 days preceding the exhibition opening by a group of students from Studio Tom Emerson in collaboration with students from the Accademia di Belle Arti in Palermo.

The opening ceremony will feature two round table discussions, one in Italian and one in English, featuring invited guests Flavio de Bruna, Maurizio Carta, Valentina Mandalari, Yohann Hubert, as well as contributions from the students themselves.
