Nicoletta Fiorucci Foundation, in collaboration with Courtauld MA Curating students 2025/26, presents a group exhibition and accompanying public programme, in partnership with the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London and Fondazione In Between Art Film, inviting audiences to reconsider homemaking as an ongoing act of belonging, repair, and transformation.
The stairway that separates my room from my memory takes its title from a 1990 poem by visual artist and author Etel Adnan, in which the stairway becomes a metaphor for a transitional identity, a threshold that both separates and connects. Bringing together works from the Nicoletta Fiorucci Collection alongside existing and newly commissioned works by other artists, authors, and filmmakers, the exhibition and its related events explore how notions of home shift through migration, exile, and diaspora.
