Agenda

The iconic artwork Khaled by artist Fares Cachoux has now found its home in Italy, marking an important milestone in the international visibility of his work. From 13 August to 3 November 2026, Fares Cachoux will present his first solo exhibition in Italy, organised in collaboration with Museo Magma and hosted at the Spazio Multimediale San Francesco in Civitanova Marche. Curated by Cristina Flaco and Enrico Lattanzi, the exhibition will offer a comprehensive retrospective of the artist’s journey, bringing together key works that trace the evolution of his visual language, artistic commitments, and aesthetic research. This major presentation marks the beginning of an exciting new Italian chapter for the artist.

Wind Witnesses brings together fourteen modern and contemporary artists around a universal and deeply poetic subject: the bird. A symbol of freedom, movement and spirituality, but also of exile, fragility and resistance, the bird transcends cultures and art history, inviting us to reflect on our relationship with the world and the natural environment. Featuring works by Dia Al-Azzawi, Abdallah Benanteur, Fares Cachoux, Chaouki Choukini, Akram Al Halabi, Manabu Kochi, Randa Maddah, Laila Muraywid, Yasmina Nysten, Irving Petlin, Azza Abo Rebieh, Khaled Takreti, Reem Yassouf and Ossip Zadkine, the exhibition explores the many meanings of this elusive figure, at the intersection of poetry, memory, and contemporary political and ecological concerns. Between flight and belonging, freedom and vulnerability, Wind Witnesses offers a poetic journey in which the bird becomes a reflection of the human condition and our enduring longing for elsewhere.
