Florence, 20 October – 29 November 2025

Oltre le mura / Beyond the walls is a project by Fondazione Fabbrica Europa for Autunno Fiorentino which, in its fourth edition in 2025, brings the visions of Italian and international artists to the peripheral neighborhoods of Florence. These artists are invited to share their research revolving around themes such as community, body, sound, and nature.

Through meetings, workshops, and performances, the project aims to reach new audiences and promote active participation.
The program is structured around four projects and workshop activities led by Manuel Roque, Sara Vilardo, Benno Steinegger with Eirik Havnes, Francesco Fei.

Manuel Roque explores the human body’s capacity to endure exceptional efforts. Sara Vilardo investigates themes of nostalgia and the desire to return home. Benno Steinegger and Eirik Havnes conduct research on plants, convinced that plants possess consciousness and that there is a way to communicate with them. Francesco Fei focuses on the city as a place of imagination, from which to start the vision necessary for creation..
