The exhibition documents over 60 years of activity of one of the main masters and theorists of Italian design.

Claudia Andujar: The Yanomami struggle
Until February 5 2021
The exhibition Claudia Andujar: The Yanomami struggle inaugurated the eight-year partnership between Triennale Milano and Fondation Cartier pour l'art contemporain. The exhibition is the largest retrospective dedicated to the work and activism of Claudia Andujar, who has spent over fifty years photographing and protecting the Yanomami, one of the largest indigenous groups in Brazil today threatened by illegal gold prospectors and from the risk of contagion. The result of many years of research in the photographer's archives, the exhibition, curated by Thyago Nogueira, Director of the Contemporary Photography Department of the Instituto Moreira Salles in Brazil, presents the work of Claudia Andujar through more than 300 black and white photographs or in color – including numerous unpublished works –, an audiovisual installation, historical documents, as well as drawings and a film made by Yanomami artists. In addition to reflecting the two indissoluble aspects of Claudia Andujar's career – one artistic, the other political – the exhibition reveals the important contribution that the Brazilian artist has made to photography and the essential role she has played, and continues to play , in defense of the Yanomami and the forest in which they live.
Mirabilia. A Wunderkammer to discover the Milanese art crafts
Until April 4 2021
Triennale Milano and the Fondazione Cologni dei Mestieri d'Arte, with this first exhibition of the cycle Crafts of Art & Design. Crafts Culture, wish to give visibility and value to a significant selection of Milanese masters of art who still create original, authentic and creative objects that inspire wonder and admiration. About forty contemporary pieces represent the "secrets of the trade" of as many craft ateliers and factories in the city of Milan, produced in single pieces or in small series, with a profound artistic and cultural significance. The dialogue is enriched by five refined Renaissance objects, always linked to Milan and lent by important cultural institutions, which relate to contemporary creation. Special and significant works, therefore, which emerge from the factories and artisans' ateliers as valuable and surprising artifacts; objects, or rather "goods", for which the value of the handmade evokes the centrality of the artisan talent and the dialogue with the design creativity for which Milan is rightly famous.
