Burning is the passage

oven Project is pleased to present the exhibition Burning is the passage, curated by Bianca Basile. Three artistic practices that use matter as a living body. Salt, wax, and pigment become tools of transformation, between resistance and care. The exhibition brings together the works of Redusa (@redusaofficial), Noemi Mirata (@noeminmirata), and Giampaolo Parrilla (@giampaolo_parrilla) in a space of crossing, where the wound is not hidden but made visible as a gesture of permanence. The exhibition will be open from Saturday, November 8, 2025, to Saturday, January 10, 2026, at the Sala del Forno of Fortezza Nuova, Livorno. Opening on November 8, from 6pm to 8pm. With the Patronage of the Municipality of Livorno.
