Published on the occasion of the exhibition at MAXXI BVULGARI PRIZE 2024, the catalogue recounts the work of the finalist artists: Riccardo Benassi, Binta Diaw, Monia Ben Hamouda, and Roberto Fassone. The curator’s texts are combined with contributions from the Prize selectors and jurors, tracing a vivid panorama of contemporary creativity. Artificial intelligence, new technologies, diaspora, migration, cultural identity, memory and a deep connection with one’s homeland are some of the themes addressed by the artists who take shape in this volume through interviews, essays, images and short biographies. The result is new readings and food for thought, a composite fresco of the art of recent generations aimed at enthusiasts and insiders alike.
