OPENING
ALCHEMIC FLOW
ROME EXPERIMENTAL VIDEO AND PERFORMING ART FESTIVAL 2026
The Social Hub Rome
February 20-21-22, 2026

ITSLIQUID Group, in collaboration with The Social Hub Rome, is pleased to present ALCHEMIC FLOW, an experimental festival dedicated to video art, performative practices, and contemporary installations, taking place in Rome at The Social Hub Rome (click here to book your free ticket), from February 20 to 22, 2026.

The event will bring together more than 30 artists from 13 countries, engaged in a curatorial journey conceived by Luca Curci and co-curated by Amaride Ferrante and Giulia Tassi. The project is envisioned as a space for research and transformation, where diverse artistic languages intersect to explore the relationship between the body, the environment, and inner dimensions, offering the public an immersive and multidisciplinary experience.

The exhibition focuses on the concept of Alchemical Flow, an immersive exploration of the invisible threads that connect our physical existence with the environments we inhabit. In the spirit of mindfulness, this edition treats digital and performing art as a modern form of “alchemy,” capable of transmuting the chaotic stimulation of the contemporary age into a profound state of balance and resonance.

The festival investigates the human experience through three interconnected realms: BODIES, the alchemy of the self, exploring the body as a temple of breath and movement; PLACES, the alchemy of the environment, analyzing how our surroundings shape our emotional well-being; and SPACES, the alchemy of the mind, navigating virtual and metaphysical dimensions to find inner stillness. The human body is conceived as a changing system that connects us with other bodies and spaces, acting as a strong communication system to perceive and transform the surrounding reality.

Within this curatorial vision, ALCHEMIC FLOW is enriched by the collaboration with Sedition x Muse Frame, realities actively engaged in the promotion and presentation of contemporary video art on an international level. Among the artists presented by Sedition x Muse Frame are Bill Viola and Refik Anadol, the most influential masters of international video art, alongside Mat Collishaw, Nick Fudge, and Leo Crane, whose works explore the dialogue between moving image, technology, and contemporary imagination.
