Before (and after) the endless string of Christmas dinners, lunches, and family reunions—both the joyful and the chaotic—our editorial team at Collater.al has put together a list of events, exhibitions, concerts, markets, and pop-up stores to help you gear up for and recover from the whirlwind of emotions the holiday season brings.
ART
#1 Ordinary Wounds 平凡的伤痕
Until January 31, 2025 | @Artopia Gallery, Milan
Ordinary Wounds 平凡的伤痕 is a project designed for the two floors of the gallery space. Through a carefully curated selection of works, it revisits the Diamonds series, which Rachele Maistrello has been developing since 2018. This saga, divided into three narrative chapters (Green Diamond, Blue Diamond, and Black Diamond), explores the relationship between humans and nature through a speculative use of the photographic medium and scientific inquiry.

Starting November 30, tickets will always be priced at just €3. The cinema pays homage to this pioneer of horror by exploring the role of the body in cinema.
