From October 14th 2023 to January 14th 2024, Ravenna hosts the 8th edition of the BIENNIAL OF CONTEMPORARY MOSAIC.
The whole city is involved in a rich programme of events, with its most charming places opening up to artists coming from all over the world.
Monuments, museums, cloisters and symbolic spaces become exceptional galleries, where ancient and contemporary art meet and create a continuous dialogue.
Many events and guided tours will lead visitors to the discovery of a city that has been and still is the undisputed Capital of Mosaic.
Among the many events on the programme, the MAR – Ravenna Art Museum hosts BURRIRAVENNAORO, an important exhibition dedicated to Alberto Burri and curated by Bruno Corà.
Hosted in the halls of the first and second floors of the museum, this significant exhibition traces the history of the intense relationship between Burri and Ravenna, started at the end of the ’80s, representing and transforming the dialogue with the historical mosaics of Ravenna through the contrast between black and gold, dark and light.
The halls of Palazzo Rasponi dalle Teste will be the setting of EPISODI DI MOSAICO CONTEMPORANEO, an exhibition where design and mosaic meet to create new and special objects of interior design.
In addition to these events, the programme feature many other appointments involving public and private subjects, such as the National Museum of Ravenna, the Archdiocese and its important UNESCO World Heritage monuments, the Classense Library, the Academy of Fine Arts, Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali “G. Verdi”, the Department of Cultural Heritage of the University of Bologna – seat of Ravenna, Liceo Artistico Nervi-Severini, Fondazione RavennAntica, cultural associations, art galleries, mosaic workshops and studios.
