BacteriArt, from invisible to visible is a project by NABA, Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, now in its 4th edition. The initiative offers students an educational pathway focused on the conception and realization of an exhibition within the Milan campus, exploring the world of bacteria through a longstanding collaboration with Yakult.
This year’s concept, centered on the Gut–Brain Axis, has guided the development of immersive and site-specific installations, emerging from an ongoing dialogue with internationally renowned artists and curators. The program has unfolded through seminars and studio visits with Remo Salvadori, Clara Hastrup, Jenna Sutela, and Fiammetta Griccioli, offering students direct engagement with contemporary artistic practices and theoretical perspectives.
