ROME INTERNATIONAL ART FAIR 2022 analyzes the relationship between body and space, and the hybridization between identities and cultural/physical/social/urban settings in contemporary time, through two main sections: MIXING IDENTITIES and FUTURE LANDSCAPES.

MIXING IDENTITIES analyzes the hidden parts of our identities, through an immersive experience inside the fascinating universe of the complex labyrinths of our consciousness. The human body is a changing system that connects us with other bodies and spaces to perceive the surrounding reality; a strong communication system with its own language and infinite ways of expression.

FUTURE LANDSCAPES are abstract, infinite and conceptual, associated with a sense of freedom and infinite extension. Primarily experienced with the mind, spaces redefine their limits and borders, transforming surfaces in an open flow of pure ideas. This section focuses on the concept of the borders and the structures between body, mind and soul, the human identity and the city, the space and the ground.

Deadline for applications is March 31, 2022 (11.59 PM of your local time)

SOME OF OUR LAST EXHIBITIONS

Jessica Müller, Switzerland/Brazil
“The concept of an art platform based on fluidity, connection and accessibility are extremely important for contemporary artists such as me. I find it very inspiring to have the opportunity to connect with other artists, collectors and art critics. The virtual platform has opened many doors for the art scene that was before limited by a physical distance. Yes. I am happy that this festival embraces artists from a plurality of backgrounds, the diversity of the art exhibited was very inspiring. As an artist I am always searching to connect with the audience on a deeper level, and for the viewers to see a glimpse of themselves reflected in my work.“
