Villa Médicis Summer: A Convergence of Art, Architecture, and Sound

This summer, the Académie de France à Rome – Villa Médicis transforms into a vibrant hub of creativity with its series of exhibitions, festivals, and performances. The 'Oracles au-delà des Mers' exhibition showcases the works of sixteen resident artists, blending literature, music, visual arts, and architecture into a dialogue on memory and contemporary narratives. Meanwhile, the 'Festival des Cabanes' invites visitors to explore innovative architectural installations nestled in the Renaissance gardens, each a testament to sustainable design and traditional craftsmanship.
