Mattia Moreni at MAR: exhibitions, talks and inclusive activities

The MAR - Museum of the City of Ravenna offers a packed week of events—guided tours, lectures and family workshops—centered on the exhibition Mattia Moreni. From the regression of the species to the humanoid, on view until 3 May 2026. The program combines critical reflection, accessibility and activities for diverse audiences.

Key events during the week include:

• Saturday 11 April 2026, 11:00 - Guided tour in Italian Sign Language (LIS), organized with ENS Emilia-Romagna and the Provincial ENS Section of Ravenna. The visit will be led by a MAR museum educator with an LIS interpreter.
• Saturday 11 April 2026, 16:00 - Family workshop “Parents & Children”: an animated visit and a creative lab to design and build an automaton inspired by works in the exhibition.
• Saturday 11 April 2026, 16:30 - Guided tour focused on Moreni’s expressive language.
• Sunday 12 April 2026, 16:00 - “Music and art at MAR”: concert by students from the Conservatory “Giuseppe Verdi” of Ravenna followed by a guided tour of the exhibition.
• Tuesday 14 April 2026, 16:00-18:00 - Lecture by Giovanni Barberini: “Nothing is really” and genetic mutation. Moreni the visionary. A critical re-reading of the artist’s thought, fifty years after the monologue L’ignoranza fluida.
• Wednesday 15 April 2026, 16:00-18:00 - Historical-artistic lecture by Claudio Spadoni, offering a deeper interpretation of Moreni’s work.

At the same time, the Arts & New Media Room launches a new stage of the Spazio Neutro project curated by Giorgia Salerno: from 8 April to 24 May 2026 the room hosts Rifugio plastico. Living the border by Francesca Pasquali, an immersive project that explores inhabitation as a shifting, mutable condition.

MAR opening hours: Tuesday–Saturday 9:00–18:00; Sunday and holidays 10:00–19:00. The Moreni exhibition highlights the artist’s late production, addressing themes such as the human-machine relationship, technological evolution and transformations of identity.
