Inaugurated in an exceptional location, the Conrad in Osaka, the exhibition 'Humanity in Journey', by the internationally renowned Italian artist Rosa Mundi, less than three months before the start of Expo 2025, on the futuristic island of Yumeshima.
The event, which is an absolute premiere in Japan, is part of the numerous initiatives organised by the Consulate General of Italy in Osaka, aimed at highlighting Italian artistic and creative excellence to the Japanese public and the international community living in Kansai.
In his opening speech, the Consul General of Italy in Osaka, Marco Prencipe, emphasised how culture constitutes an important axis in bilateral relations between Italy and Japan, 'countries that share millennia of history, tradition, and culture and that still today can be considered true cultural powers due to their unique ability to combine past, present, and future in an exemplary manner'.
Curated by Roberto Bilotti Ruggi d'Aragona, 'Humanity in Travel' is a three-dimensional journey through the history of humanity, a journey through matter, time and cultures, where each work recounts the transformation of substance into symbol, ennobling materials such as marble, rendered mobile and fluid by the artist, marine plastics and recycled glass, through a language that interweaves past and future, body and thought, visible and invisible.
Protagonist of international exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale, Helsinki, Durres, Dakar and Cyprus, where she received a prestigious award in 2023, and present in prestigious public and private collections, such as the Moleskine Foundation, the Fondation Leopold Senghor and the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Region of Sicily, the Orestiadi Foundation, Rosa Mundi, pseudonym of Chiara Modìca Donà dalle Rose, is a multidisciplinary artist and philanthropist. She is the founder of the neo-spatialism movement that delves into the infinitely small, a kind of 'non-space', out of time between art, philosophy and science.
