“Homo Faber -An Island of Light”
September 1- 30th Venice, Italy
I am excited to finally announce that I have been selected for the international curated art exhibition, Homo Faber, in Venice, Italy this September! Sponsored by the Michelangelo Foundation, it is a biannual event celebrating craftsmanship and design and showcasing the work of international artisans, designers, and artists. Celebrated British artist and designer, Es Devlin, will be the artistic director of dramatic installations themed “An Island of Light”.
Held from September 1–30, 2026 at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini on the island of San Giorgio Maggiore, Venice, this immersive exhibition explores the profound relationship between light, raw materials, and the human hand through spectacular scenography. Key details of the event include:
The Installations: Visitors explore 15 immersive environments featuring over 800 works by more than 400 artisans from over 70 countries.
Live Crafting: Several main exhibition halls feature live demonstrations where artisans showcase their skills, techniques, and tools.
Homo Faber in Città: The event extends into Venice itself, where local workshops from the Homo Faber Guide open their doors to the public.
Getting There: Tickets include access to a complimentary shuttle service running every 30 minutes from San Marco–San Zaccaria (Pier B1).
