Exhibitions

Within Spazio Portici – Percorsi creativi project, we curate exhibitions dedicated to graphic art together with the Fondazione Contrada, an opportunity to transform a place of passage into a community cultural space.

VOLTA PAGINA
In the daily passageway of the arcades of Corso San Martino, VOLTA PAGINA opens a space for listening and reflection.
A series of typographic posters brings the words of 215 people involved in Fondazione Ufficio Pio programs into the public space, giving shape to a collective visual narrative about change.
Ten keywords—encounter, time, change, voice, future, desire, trust, family, home, children—guide the narrative, intertwining needs, choices, and new beginnings.
The exhibition invites those passing through the porticoes to stop, read, and recognize themselves, transforming the urban landscape into a space for relationships and possibilities.

Seeds of Kindness

On display is a selection of the 40 winning works from the 14th edition of Posterheroes, dedicated to the theme Seeds of Kindness, which invites reflection on the generative power of empathy and kindness as daily and collective practices. This edition explores kindness as a radical and visible gesture, capable of countering indifference and social fragmentation, promoting visual narratives that value care, relationships and the ability to create meaningful bonds between people, communities and public spaces.

Abracadabra

Magic! With Abracadabra you can transform paper into a tree
Abracadabra is the best known magical formula in the world, unchanged in all languages and a magical tool to change sensitive reality. In the past the term indicated a talisman in the shape of a triangle that contained the magic word within it.
Thanks to Graphic Days® the “magic formula” will transform paper into trees: the proceeds from the sale of the works that illustrators have donated to the project will be used for new trees in the city.

 

For the second edition of Abracadabra, Graphic Days® has selected 40 new illustrations that join the already present collection of 60 works from the first edition.

City Playground

An exhibition but also a “game” to think about the fundamental role that public space plays in daily life: 10 posters to highlight 10 aspects of urban life and a digital experience to design your own ideal city starting from the identification of its functions, answering the questions:

What is home for you? What makes you feel recharged? What makes you feel connected to others? What makes you feel comfortable? What makes you feel inspired? What makes you feel involved?
