OPEN CALL TO ARTISTS
The BID25ART call is open to female artists of all nationalities working in diverse artistic disciplines, such as
painting, sculpture, photography, design, video, installations, and artistic performances.
Each artist may submit up to three works for jury consideration, provided they align with the BID25ART theme
outlined above under "Theme." All works must have been completed within the last five years (2020–2025) and
must not have been previously exhibited at the BID/ART Biennale. The jury will select one work per artist for the
exhibition.
THEME OF BID25ART
NOSTALGIA. MATTER OF EMOTIONS
Curated by Vittoria Beltrame
Like every stone shaped by waves, every land touched by the sea undergoes transformations. Transformation,
evolution, and change are necessary processes that preserve, in new forms, the primordial essence of the past.
The sea, the great sculptor of time, gathers fragments, smooths edges, and creates new narratives. What we
were does not disappear but transforms into a persistent echo—a nostalgia that is not melancholy but poetry: a
celebration of what we were and how it shapes our present.
Here, nostalgia is a metaphor: a bridge between memory and hope, between what was and what could be. Like a
wave carrying fragments of distant stories, the exhibited works will reflect places, experiences, people, and
dreams.
"Nostalgia. Matter of Emotions" is not just an intellectual exploration. It is an invitation to feel, to relive moments
that define who we are. Through art, we aim to celebrate the invisible, the unsaid, the intangible power of
emotions that connect us to each other and the world.
