Through the Prism of Borders | Episode 3

We are pleased to announce the exhibition Through the Prism of Borders – Episode 3, which will take place from 15 November 2025 to 7 February 2026 across four museums and public spaces in the city of Bolzano: BZ ’18–’45 Exhibition Trail within the Victory Monument, Eurac Research, Mercantile Museum, Bolzano Civic Museum, and the South Tyrol Museum of Natural History.

Curated by Katia Anguelova, Angelika Burtscher, and Marion Oberhofer and produced by Lungomare as part of the European project Horizon Europe B-Shapes – Borders Shaping Perceptions of European Societies, the exhibition explores the multiple political, spatial, and personal narratives of borders through works by Pamela Dodds, Esra Ersen, Boris Missirkov & Georgi Bogdanov, Ivan Moudov, Karin Schmuck, Zorka Wollny, and ZimmerFrei (Anna de Manincor).

Following the first two chapters — in Český Těšín/Cieszyn and at the National Museum of History in Sofia — Episode 3 brings together works produced in the two border regions, enriched by two new commissions, and places them in dialogue with the collections and historical sites of Bolzano. The artworks address themes of migration, collective memory, identity, and the relationship with the landscape, proposing new ways of perceiving and understanding borders as spaces of connection and interaction.
