Meet the Fellows (Part 2)
From 7:30 pm, the evening moves through music, literature, performance, and sound experiments on stage waiting for the sun to set in our back garden.
Oswald Huỳnh opens with Memory revises me, a new chamber work inspired by Ovid, Frank Ocean, and Li-Young Lee, performed by Trio Sheliak. Through shifting textures and fragmented melodies, the piece reflects on exile, longing, and the strange feeling of watching home from afar.
Poet David Keplinger reads from ‘Great Pond’, a manuscript completed during his time in Rome, followed by Chuna McIntyre #chunamcintyre, whose performance draws from Yup’ik cultural traditions, storytelling, and dance practices carried across generations.
Maya Binyam shares excerpts from ‘Holy Fool’, her new novel about exile, secrecy, and the uneasy ways the past resurfaces.
Composer Lembit Beecher presents a program shaped by family stories, immigration narratives, and childhood memory, accompanied by Enzo Filippetti (alto sax), Susanna Pagano (piano) and Fellow Traveler Karen Ouzounian (cello).
The evening closes with Marta De Pascalis, whose new work for synthesizer and magnetic tape explores analogue sound as something physical, immersive, and constantly shifting.
Join us for this special and extended version of our annual Open Studios!

Meet the Fellows (part 1)
Step inside the studios and see installations of the Rome Prize and Italian Fellows during Open Studios 2026.
From volcanic shores and submerged vessels to marble quarries, ancient soundscapes, public space, diaspora, and the search for shade, this year’s projects move across disciplines, materials, and geographies — tracing the many ways artists, architects, writers, composers, and researchers are reimagining the world around us.

Meet the Fellows
This year’s program brings together a wide range of research organized around three thematic threads shaping the Fellows’ work: ‘Race Across Time’, ‘Bodies and the Work They Do’, and ‘Knowledge Across Geographies’. Moving between ancient Rome and the twentieth century, from medieval translation networks to early modern global trade routes, the presentations highlight how ideas, bodies, and systems of knowledge circulate across time and space.
Together, the talks emphasize research as an evolving process, opening up the questions, methods, and experiments that shape each Fellow’s work.

Michael McCormick – New Evidence for Roman History and Archaeology from the Science of the Human Past
Wednesday, May 13
6:00 pm
Via Angelo Masina, 5
Free and open to the public.
This lecture is part of a series of five talks on ‘Material Environments’, hosted jointly by the American Academy in Rome and the British School at Rome during the 2025–26 academic year. Through these lectures, speakers present new research on the environments of ancient and post-Classical Rome and Italy, exploring how changing technologies of research provide new answers to questions about landscape, climate, and the past.
In this lecture, Michael McCormick will examine how environmental, digital, and genetic investigations are reshaping our understanding of the Roman Empire. Drawing on advances in archaeology, epigraphy, papyrology, and numismatics, the talk considers how the emerging “Science of the Human Past” is generating new knowledge about ancient people, their experiences, and their environments.
Michael McCormick is Francis Goelet Professor of Medieval History and Chair of Science of the Human Past at Harvard University. He will deliver the Patricia H. Labalme Friends of the Library Lecture.

LECTURE/CONVERSATION
Subhankar Banerjee and Cristiana Franco – Birds in Peril Across Centuries
Tuesday, May 12, 6:00 pm
Via Angelo Masina, 5
Free and open to the public.
Birds have long moved between worlds—myth and migration, companionship and extraction, survival and disappearance.
Organized alongside ‘Flight Paths’, this conversation brings together environmental humanist Subhankar Banerjee and classicist Cristiana Franco to reflect on the presence of birds across time, from the ancient Mediterranean to the fragile ecologies of the present.
Beginning in the Faroe Islands and extending across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, Banerjee’s lecture traces histories of ecological destruction alongside forms of resistance, restoration, and cultural renewal shaped by local communities. Franco’s presentation follows the circulation of the Indian parakeet in the ancient world, examining how the movement of species transformed relationships between humans and birds in the Mediterranean.
Together, the talks open a space to think about coexistence, displacement, memory, and the futures of more-than-human worlds.
The exhibition will be open from 5:00-8:00 in this special occasion.
Nel corso dei tre giorni del festival “Vulcana. Sublimation”, il tema della sublimazione verrà sviluppato nelle sue diverse declinazioni — dall’ambito scientifico alle arti visive e performative — invitando artisti, studiosi e ricercatori a confrontarsi con le strategie contemporanee di previsione del pericolo, indagandole attraverso un processo collettivo di svelamento e reinterpretazione.
//
The new edition of Vulcana is curated by Niccolò Gravina and Cornelia Mattiacci, in collaboration with.
Over three days, “Vulcana. Sublimation” will trace the theme across science, visual art and performance, inviting artists, scholars and researchers to collectively examine and reimagine contemporary strategies of risk prediction.

Through the lens of the Academy, this reveals a constellation of practices connected through shared experiences of residence, research, friendship and international exchange in Italy –simultaneous and across time– generating collaborations and projects, some of them now reappearing in Venice.
In the main exhibition, Laurie Anderson, Wangechi Mutu, Gala Porras-Kim, and Khaled Sabsabi appear across key sections and national contexts.
National Pavilions include Yto Barrada for France and a double appearance of Khaled Sabsabi for Australia, while the Italian Pavilion features the work of Chiara Camoni, developed in dialogue with Cecilia Canziani.
Collateral exhibitions extend across the city: Monia Ben Hamouda at Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana with Fondazione Bvlgari, Amy Revier at CASA YALI, Francesco Urbano Ragazzi at Ca’ Foscari University, and Ieva Lygnugarytė with Meral Karacaoğlan with contributions by Oswald Huýnh at Oratorio dei Crociferi in collaboration with the Lithuanian Culture Institute.
Special mentions include programs with Jenny Lin and Claire Dillon, and extended connections such as Walid Raad, Lorna Simpson, Joseph Kosuth, and Michelangelo Pistoletto are included in the guide.
