CONTEMPORARY VENICE Architectures of Identities will be focused on all the different facets of social, physical and cultural identities of our contemporary societies. Everyday we deal with a multitude of different identities and roles: we face the public life creating and adapting our social identities; our body and aesthetic tastes modify and are modified by our physical and sexual identities; our whole being evolves as well as contemporary cultures and modern cities do. Differences create new compounds and exchange possibilities. FEATURED ARTISTS Simon Maarouf . UAE | Gabriella Parisi . Italy | Daniel Pesta . Czech Republic | Khulood Thani .
