The Healing Meme Lab
6–7 November 2025
Via del Porto 48 C/D
curated by Nadia Salamino
At the conclusion of her residency program, Nadia Salamino presents two days of full immersion dedicated to the transformative power of the digital imagination. During the event, the installation Zahra Aït Kaci: The Knowledge Reborn by Enzo Aït Kaci and a video essay by Nadia Salamino will be presented. Together, they serve as a starting point for a collective reflection on the therapeutic and ironic dimensions of memes. The Healing Meme Lab also aims, on the second day, to explore the potential of memetic language as a contemporary tool for emotional and ritual processing through the collective and anonymous production of memes — personal content, reflections, or experiences that will be transformed into shared images, reinterpreted with irony and detachment through the digital environment.

November 7
4:30 PM – Workshop
The Healing Meme Lab offers an informal and participatory setting where participants, seated around a table with their computers, will experiment with creative ways of expressing themselves through shitposting. At the end of the workshop, a moment of collective sky watching (weather permitting) will accompany the closing of the experience.
A workshop that makes you laugh — but also think.
The activity is free and open to everyone; the only requirement is to bring a computer or device to make memes with.
Booking is recommended: there are only 10 spots available!

6:30 PM – Talk
Open talk and discussion with Nadia Salamino, who will present her research and engage in conversation with artist Enzo Aït Kaci.
Enzo Aït Kaci is a visual artist and art director based in Amsterdam. Trained as a digital graphic designer, he later earned a second degree in fashion design, with a strong focus on visual communication and textile practices. In his most recent works, he has explored the value of fashion imagery through the digital prism of the Internet — considering how the video game industry, information networks, and copy-paste culture influence fashion production. He has developed a method for creating textile prints and garments that combines technology and craftsmanship, building a system where the two-dimensionality of images and the three-dimensionality of clothing interact — a visual circuit in which 3D garments and 2D images continually transform one another. The result is a garment that circulates in an infinite loop, constantly moving between analog and digital realities.
