Black Soil Poems
From June 10th to September 14th, 2025, with Black Soil Poems by Kenyan artist Wangechi Mutu, curated by Cloé Perrone, Galleria Borghese welcomes, for the first time, a living female artist to exhibit in the halls of Cardinal Scipione Borghese’s historic residence.
Conceived specifically for the museum’s spaces, the exhibition project delves into themes such as immateriality, dissolution, and the connection between ancient and contemporary art, igniting a dialogue between the artist’s works and the collection, that extends beyond the museum’s walls. Through a performative approach that challenges the notion of space as a mere container of artworks, the exhibition questions the very materials and relationships that define the museum environment.
