From the idea of the intersection between the of the distortion and discrepancy of the worlds that compose the city - images, stories, and sounds can develop that trace the contours of other possible, parallel, and hypothetical realities, where the fantastic mixes with the everyday, the banal with the horrific and the extraordinary.

Following the footsteps of Calvino, Melville, Guénon, and Machiavelli, the city of Bologna is chosen as a research ground for a group of students from three prestigious European art schools. They travel the city, drawing and reimagining it, brought together by a project of exchange and reflection on the landscape. Bologna, a place of intersection between the liquid worlds below and the solid worlds above, will not be able to resist this enticement.

The exhibition is a collection of drawings and creations produced during a week of workshops by students brought together by an Erasmus+ exchange project: A Dialogue Across Times and Landscapes - BIP Hasselt/Bologna/Vilnius 2025, now in its second phase.
Promoted by BIP 2025 - Erasmus+ Programme; and curated by Sara Colaone and Mario Rivelli (Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna), Cathy Van Maele and Katleen Verjans (PXL-MAD School of Arts Hasselt), Elena Grudzinskaite and Ieva Babilaité-Ibelgauptienė (Vilnius Academy).
