BID ospita la sua prima Residenza d’Artista. Uno spazio e un tempo dedicato alla ricerca, alla sperimentazione e alla creazione. Un’opportunità per un’artista di immergersi in un contesto stimolante, lontano dalle pressioni quotidiane, per sviluppare un progetto, incontrare persone, dialogare con il territorio e lasciarsi ispirare. Con questa prima edizione vogliamo accompagnare il processo creativo, raccontarlo passo dopo passo, condividere lo sguardo dell’artista ospite e valorizzare una pratica che si costruisce nel tempo. A breve sveleremo chi sarà la protagonista di questa prima edizione… #ResidenzaBID #BID25ART #ResidenzaArtistica #BiennaleInternazionaleDonna #ArteContemporanea #ProcessoCreativo

A heartfelt thank you to @studio_theo   for the dedicated press work and for accompanying the project with care, precision and attention.

Take a look at the installation views from the fifth edition of the Biennale Internazionale Donna, currently on display at Magazzino 26, Porto Vecchio, Trieste. Curated by Riccardo Rizzetto, La Boemia sta sul mare — Esercitare discontinuità, immaginare altrimenti unfolds as a space shaped by thresholds, frictions, and shifting positions. Through these images, the exhibition emerges as a field in which works, bodies, and trajectories intersect — inviting multiple ways of inhabiting and reading the space. Rather than presenting fixed narratives, the exhibition brings together diverse artistic practices that engage with discontinuity as a method: opening passages between memory and imagination, presence and absence, the individual and the collective. Featuring: Gaia Aducchio, Karina Akopyan, Aliteia (Alice Babolin), Anastasiia Artiukhina, Beatrice Bartolozzi, Franca Bertani, Letizia Carattini, Francesca Centonze, Chiara Anna Colombo, Marina Comerio, Tiziana Contu, Martina Dallastella, Marie-José D’Aprile, Marija Delić, Donatella Donatelli, Elisabetta Eleutieri Serpieri, Luisa Elia, Fabiola Faidiga, Marica Fasoli, Kikki Ghezzi, Silvia Giordani, Arianna Giorgi, Monica Gorini, Barbara Grossato, Valentina Grilli, Paulina Jazvić, Noemi Kiss, Jane Kerry Lowery, Sofia MacGregor Oettler, Micol Magni, Eliana Marinari, Pamela Martinez Rod, Maria Cristina Marzola, Viviana Rasulo, Giorgia Razzetta, Marta Ravasi, Laura Russell, Ann Russell, Andrea Solaja, Sarah Staton, Isa Stein, Billi Thanner, Claudia Villani, Ana Vivoda, Sarah Kate Wilson, Alba Zari, Vittoria Serena (Claudia Zaggia) We invite you to experience the exhibition in person. The Biennale remains open to the public until 2 May.

La V edizione della @biennale_internazionale_donna è stata inaugurata venerdì 27 marzo! Trieste è riuscita nuovamente ad accogliere la Biennale e le 63 meravigliose artiste che hanno creduto nel nostro progetto. Un progetto che dura da 10 anni, in cui Barbara Fornasir e altre splendide donne hanno protetto, difeso e portato tutto altrove. Un progetto raccolto da @seherzada_seki e che io accompagno e supporto come posso, anche da lontano. È stata una settimana difficile ma meravigliosa, fatta di splendidi imprevisti ma anche di incontri che mi hanno riempito il cuore. Seguite la manifestazione, perché il nostro curatore @riccardorizzetto_studio ha preparato un calendario di attivazioni davvero interessanti. Presto arriverà il catalogo, progettato dalla curatrice editoriale @di_antonellatrotta . Che dire… a presto, Trieste. Come sempre, sai riempirmi il cuore.

i n t e r f e r e n c e s P U B L I C P R O G R A M M E A constellation of screenings, walkshops, workshops, performances and temporary exhibitions unfolding alongside the V Biennale Internazionale Donna.

From the official opening on 27 March to the finissage in early May, the programme activates different sites across Trieste, bringing together artists, filmmakers, researchers and local organisations. Programme highlights: 29.03 | Walkshop Architetture del Postporre by Communal Matters, with Linea d’Ombra and Francesca Centonze 03.04 | Ephemeral Exhibition Stories as Forms - Malles Design Mediterraneo (on view until 12.04.2026) 19.04 | Screening BID the Screen - Lagoon / Ice / Data Films by Sonia Levy, Susan Schuppli and Felix Lenz 25.04 | Screening BID the Screen - Optics / Communication Films by Filipa César & Louis Henderson and Nick Calori & Nicola Sersale 01.05 | Ephemeral Exhibition TRACEFORM - Outcomes of the workshop curated by Riccardo Rizzetto with Sarah Staton for the Royal College of Art MA Sculpture 02.05 - Finissage Presentation of the Intersections Research Art Residency interferences PUBLIC PROGRAMME Curated by Riccardo Rizzetto @riccardorizzetto_studio Trieste 27 March - 3 May 2026 Swipe to explore the programme. #BiennaleInternazionaleDonna #BIDV #Interferences #PublicProgramme #Trieste
