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.

Extended deadline for applications is November 25, 2022 (11.59 PM of your local time)

SOME OF OUR LAST EXHIBITIONS

Jana Kupčáková, Czech Republic
“I think it offers great and varied opportunities for artists to present their work, which is very important today. This is my first experience with this platform and I have to praise it very much. Despite the fact that I travel all over the world, Italy is closest to my heart and a lot of my successful photos were taken right here. Therefore, I am happy that I was given the opportunity to exhibit in Venice and my dream came true. Thanks again and I look forward to seeing a similar opportunity in the future.“
