Flashback Habitat - Turin (TO)

Fuori circuito Non in abbonamento
From Thursday 25.09.2025 to Tuesday 31.03.2026

The exhibition Butterfly is a project of video art edited by Rebecca Russo and realised in collaboration with the Videoinsight® Foundation - ETS, in the spaces of Flashback Habitat, a former Turin brephanage transformed into a place of artistic and cultural hospitality. Through a selection of works from the Videoinsight® Collection, the exhibition explores the profound symbolism of the butterfly, universal emblem of transformation, renaissance e inner beauty.

Butterfly is a visual and conceptual invitation to consider the fragility not as a weakness but as a threshold for growth, to see in the wounds traces of resilience, in the limits new possibilities. The exhibition develops as a journey into interiority, where video art becomes a means of care, of awareness, emotional and psychic activation.

The project fits perfectly into the mission of Flashbackgiving voice to the marginality, transforming spaces and stories into living ecosystems of contemporary culture. The works on display - signed by international artists such as Janet Biggs, Kate Gilmore, Ali Kazma, Hans Op De Beeck, Masbedo and many others - recount intimate and universal experiences, transforming the viewer's gaze.

An immersive and intense experience, interweaving art and psychology, memory and innovation, creating a collective narrative of hope, evolution e new life.


Compassion
by Alexander Mostafa Fazari

A new work at the Circolino! A typical emergency material that becomes a work of art: a thermal blanket, a thin golden veil - fragile and salvific at the same time - on which Egyptian artist Alexander Mostafa Fazari engraves a need: that of rediscovering compassion. His hand traces the words of Gibran, Rumi and Ibn Arabi with a calligraphic mark, transforming the golden reflection into a message universal humanity.


A Flashback Habitat Amic* card is required for access to the exhibition, which can also be purchased online. The cost of the membership card is € 5.00.
