The exhibition brings together for the first time the works of all nine winners of the Max Mara Art Prize, who are Margaret Salmon, Hannah Rickards, Andrea Büttner, Laure Prouvost, Corin Sworn, Emma Hart, Helen Cammock, Emma Talbot and Dominique White. A biennial award addressed to artists who identify with the female gender and awarded with a six-month residency in Italy during which they dedicate themselves to research for the production of a new project, which will then be exhibited at the Whitechapel Gallery in London and the Collezione Maramotti in Reggio Emilia.

A journey made of videos, installations, sculptures and works on paper, the themes range over themes such as motherhood, mythology, monasticism, with artisanal techniques that recall important traditions and that in some way want to leave a trace, become memory.

The prize is awarded by a jury composed of leading women in the British art scene. During their stay in Italy, the winners have the opportunity to delve into specific themes of Italian culture and history.
