José Witteveen — Orlando: solo exhibition at Galleria 291 Est

From 30 May to 27 June 2026, Galleria 291 Est/Spazio Espositivo Inc hosts Orlando, a solo exhibition by José Witteveen curated by Elisa Dell'Accio. The project draws on Virginia Woolf's novel to explore shifting identities and the interplay of time, gender and space.

The show gathers works developed since 2019: portraits and images created through a participatory process where personal narratives intertwine with artistic practice. Exhibited pieces make use of varied materials and experimental print and photographic techniques.
