Marzia Migliora. Seven Imaginative Exhibitions 1993-2024 is the first monograph of the artist. Conceived as a concept book in which the body of works is reinterpreted through seven recurring themes in Marzia Migliora’s practice, the book consists of seven exhibitions on paper, each curated by different curators who envisioned them in emblematic locations within the artist’s biography, thereby configuring a personal emotional geography that spans Italy—from her birthplace of Alessandria to the salt mines of Sicily. The exhibitions are informed by themes such as rurality, the museum as a place of classification, devices for viewing and perceiving reality, community-building, extractivism, patriarchal oppression, and interspecies metamorphoses related to the passage between life and death.
