Tappeto Volante Projects is pleased to announce the fifth edition of La Banda, the gallery’s annual group exhibition, marking five years of continuous activity. This milestone reflects an ongoing commitment to sustained curatorial work, artistic collaboration, and shared creative practices shaped through dialogue, care, and mutual support. The first edition of La Banda took place in 2021, during a moment of profound transformation in artistic and cultural life, when the pandemic disrupted established modes of gathering and exhibition. The project emerged as a way to return to experiencing art in person and to reestablish shared physical space. Drawing from the professional and personal networks of founder Paola Gallio, alongside Jared Deery, Elisa Soliven, and JJ Manford, the exhibition brought together artists across generations and stages of practice, including mentors, peers, collaborators, friends, and extended artistic families. Rather than following a singular curatorial hierarchy, La Banda developed through collective participation, establishing the exhibition as a platform grounded in collaboration, care, and shared visibility.
