On Thursday, May 16, 2024, Stephan Zimmerli’s installation, winner of the 2024 artist residency grant, dedicated to the collective memory of migrants, exiles, and travellers, will be inaugurated.
Studiolo dell’Esilio is the project that visual artist Stephan Zimmerli developed during his residency at MAD Murate Art District.

A wooden scenography – analogous to that of a Renaissance study – where ornaments and decorations correspond to the manifestation of an invisible world, a mental space constituted by words and memories, translated into images and revitalized by the artist’s graphic sign.
