Windows of Venice ✨

While exploring Venice, was drawn to the city’s windows. Overlooking canals, courtyards, and narrow streets, each one offered a different perspective on the life unfolding beyond it.

Collected throughout his walks, each window becomes a reminder that every view is partial, and that new ways of seeing often begin with a simple shift in position.
This idea also extends to art, understood as a set of openings onto the world: spaces of exchange where contemporary practice meets broader cultural contexts, each offering a different way of looking and understanding.

Inside the world of Murano Glass with

During his time on Murano island, moved through workshops and furnaces, observing the precision, rhythm, and physicality behind each process. Between heat, breath, and molten material, every moment reveals the balance between control and unpredictability that defines Murano’s glass-making tradition.

Spending time alongside master artisans and glass makers offered a closer understanding of a practice where technique is inseparable from memory, and where knowledge continues to pass through observation, repetition, and daily work.

Thank you Dylan for taking the time!

Opened today: “BLACKBOX”, a solo exhibition by Dawit Abebe, currently in residency at AKKA Project Venice.

Working across painting and mixed media, Abebe develops a layered visual language shaped by memory, perception, and the complex intersections between social, political, and human–technology dynamics. In BLACKBOX, the concept of the “black box” becomes both poetic and analytical: a metaphor for memory as fragmented, shifting, and never fully accessible. Through vibrant, stratified compositions, figures, symbols, and text emerge and dissolve, resisting fixed interpretation and inviting viewers into an open field of meaning.

Recurring elements, such as barefoot figures, suspended forms, and textual traces, act as thresholds between personal and collective histories, reflecting on identity, transformation, and the ambiguity of progress.

Alexandre Kyungu has been selected among the artists featured in the opening of MUVEC – Casa della Contemporaneità, the new Contemporary Art Museum in Mestre.

This recognition traces back to 2023, when Alexandre took part in the AFRICA 1:1 Residency Program hosted at AKKA Project Venezia, where an initial exchange gave rise to a dialogue that has continued to unfold over time.

Today, we celebrate this achievement in Mestre’s new home for contemporary art, where Kyungu’s work is presented alongside and .

Congratulations Alexandre!

We are proud to congratulate Ronex Ahimbisibwe on his selection for the Uganda Pavilion, curated by Taga Francis Nuwagaba, at the 2026 Biennale Arte In Minor Keys, envisioned by Koyo Kouoh.

Born in Rucence, Uganda, in 1977 and based in Kampala, Ahimbisibwe has been working with our gallery since 2016. His multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, photography, furniture, and installation, driven by studio research into the subconscious, personal limits, and creative freedom. Rejecting fixed styles or media hierarchies, his work blends contradictions and transforms emotions into tangible forms.

Using materials from bark cloth and banana fibers to metal and recycled elements, Ahimbisibwe continues to expand the dialogue between materiality and imagination.

We warmly celebrate this milestone and look forward to experiencing his work within the context of the Biennale.

For available works, please DM.
