A Platform for Change
Cities are complex places, constantly evolving, where life stories intertwine, and urban challenges manifest in daily realities. Each city has its own identity, its own soul, responding to a multitude of needs, dreams, and expectations. But what makes a city truly successful? What makes it a desirable place to live, work, and grow?
Cities change because people make them change.

Livable Cities require Peace, Freedom, and Rights
This exhibition invites a collective reflection on the devastating consequences of war, lack of freedom, and the violation of human rights in today's cities. In the face of conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East, and many other parts of the world, cities do not only die under bombs, but also under the weight of oppression and social injustice.

The Gaza Genocide
One of the most severe humanitarian and moral catastrophes of our time
PALAZZO TORTORICI - MAZZARINO - June 20, 2025 – May 30, 2026
While the world watches – too often in silence – the Palestinian people are facing one of the gravest humanitarian and moral catastrophes of our time. The Gaza Genocide is an exhibition of denunciation and remembrance that, through photographs, audiovisual materials, direct testimonies, and geopolitical analysis, documents the ongoing horror in the Gaza Strip. With over 49,000 dead, 2 million displaced, and an entire generation deprived of education, homes, and a future, Gaza today is the symbol of a genocide happening in real-time, under the eyes of the world. It is a visual and sound journey into the everyday life of a population stripped of every basic human right. It is the story of a genocide that risks spreading into an increasingly unstable regional geopolitical context. The Gaza Genocide is not just an exhibition: it is an act of cultural resistance, a clear stance, an invitation to not look the other way.
Exhibition venue: Farm Cultural Park Mazzarino – Palazzo Tortorici, Corso Vittorio Emanuele 408
Curator: RING Scientific Curators: Una Ines and Davide Russello Participating Creatives: Haitham Emad – Palestine ; Mohamed Yaghi - Gaza Sound Man – Palestine; Mahmoud Atassi - Eyes of Gaza – Syria-Turkey Reference texts and publications:Ahmed Alnaouq – We Are Not Numbers: The Voices of Gaz

Varanasi: A Journey into the Infinite by Andrea Marchegiani
Curated by Farm Cultural Park, with a photographic reportage by Andrea Marchegiani and a video contribution by Salvatore Izzo, the exhibition will offer a visual and sensory journey through one of the oldest and most mysterious cities in the world. Varanasi, also known as Benares, is a unique center of spirituality and culture, where the sacred and prayer mark the most important moments of the day and the lives of all the faithful. Visitors will be guided through an immersive experience that reveals the city in its contrasts: from the lively alleyways, to the temples, to the ghats along the Ganges, and the sacred ceremonies and daily cremations. The exhibition invites reflection on the essence of a city that, as the title suggests, seems to escape time and the limits of the finite.
The project is funded by the Sicilian Region and realized in collaboration with the Municipality of Agrigento, the Valley of the Temples Park, the Superintendency of Cultural Heritage of Agrigento, and the Municipality of Aragona.

City Rebels Storie di Ribellione Urbana
September 18, 2020- January 31, 2021 (pre-opening Sept 18, 2020) “Vision, freedom, ambition, courage, a desire for a challenge are some common traits of all urban rebels; most of the time they act individually, sometimes with a few, loyal followers. In some cases, they do everything with their own hands. They rarely mediate with power, they often trick or subvert it, sometimes mock it, or sometimes simply ignore it. They create impossible and unimaginable works that become iconic and everlasting, even when they are destroyed, because their intuitions are delivered to history, or at least to the collective memory. The Rebels are charismatic and fascinating. The Rebels are winners, even when they are defeated. Rebels are born, scientists say; non-conformism is written in our brain. But we can study them, be inspired by them, and maybe even become a little like them.
