Biennale dello Stretto 2026

Biennale dello Stretto is a recurring Italian festival celebrating architecture and design, this year following the theme Mutations.

The theme addresses non-linear changes, transformations and transitions, looking towards an often dystopian future.

The festival’s main exhibition takes place in a former military fortress named Forte Batteria Siacci, with other fringe events taking place at the National Archaeological Museum of Reggio Calabria, Villa Genoese Zerbi, Palazzo Monte di Pietà and others.

Biennale dello Stretto is a cultural project created by Alfonso Femia and produced by Fondazione Le Città del Futuro in partnership with public and private entities. The scientific direction of the 2026 edition is by Alfonso Femia, Annalisa Metta and Salima Naji.

Biennale dello Stretto 2026 takes place from 18 September to 13 December 2026 at Forte Batteria Siacci, Via Matiniti Superiore, 89052 Campo Calabro, Reggio Calabria, Italy.
