Magazzino Italian Art at Expo 2025 Osaka with Maria Lai

Thanks to the first retrospective dedicated to Maria Lai in the United States, Magazzino Italian Art will participate in Expo 2025 Osaka, represented by its Artistic Director and curator of the exhibition, Paola Mura.

The occasion will be a talk dedicated to the great artist, organized by the Department of Culture of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia at the Italy Pavilion on Friday, June 27 (11:00 AM - 1:00 PM in Osaka; 4:00 AM - 6:00 AM CET), streamed live and later available on YouTube.

The event, titled “Maria Lai: A Thread Across the Map of the World”, will feature presentations by Paola Mura and Marco Peri from the Stazione dell’Arte in Ulassai.

“With the exhibition Maria Lai. A Journey to America, on view through July 28, 2025,” explains Paola Mura, “Magazzino Italian Art has not only paid tribute to one of the most visionary Italian artists of the 20th century, but has also reignited the deeply contemporary and universal value of her work. Following Maria Lai’s thread today means building connections, crossing boundaries, and opening up spaces for encounter.”
