A celebration of contemporary craftsmanship:

Inspiring Objects – Talented Artisans – A Global Experience

Maritsa Travlos will be exhibiting part of her work at Homo Faber 2024 “The Journey of Life” along with other exceptional artisans, from 1 to 30 September 2024, at Giorgio Cini Foundation, Venice.

For this third edition, visitors will be taken on a journey through a human life, exploring life’s standout moments and everyday simplicities through the lens of craftsmanship. Meaningful milestones will be celebrated with special objects handcrafted by skilled artisans according to specific techniques. From childhood to travel, romance to dreams, Homo Faber 2024 will showcase the craftsmanship behind the objects that accompany life’s most precious moments.

Luca Guadagnino and architect Nicolò Rosmarini will bring their vision and creativity to the art direction of this event. Exploring and developing The Journey of Life, a concept by Hanneli Rupert (Vice Chair of the Michelangelo Foundation), their staging will immerse visitors in a rich human narrative that weaves its way through Fondazione Giorgio Cini located on San Giorgio Maggiore island, in Venice. It is a unique opportunity to visit the magnificent spaces of this world-renowned cultural institution, a long term partner of the Michelangelo Foundation.

Exceptional scenography, bespoke handmade creations and live artisan demonstrations will make Homo Faber 2024 a truly sensory voyage. Inspired by the ten themes which articulate The Journey of Life, the showcase will unveil hundreds of outstanding handcrafted objects made by talented artisans from all over the world, highlighting the diverse skills, techniques and innovative approaches behind their creations.

Let’s celebrate contemporary craftsmanship together in Venice this September!
