This March, Tabari Artspace presents The Power of Intention in Milan, a multidisciplinary exhibition featuring works by La Serena’s resident and visiting artists.
Curated by Bebe Leone and hosted at Villa Cramer in the heart of Milan’s Brera district, the exhibition will later travel to La Serena Hotel, where guests can experience the curation throughout the hotel during their stay. By bridging the residency with Italy’s vibrant art scene, this initiative strengthens connections between participating artists and Milan’s cosmopolitan art ecosystem, supporting deeper engagement with the global artistic community.
The concept of the talisman lies at the core of this exhibition. Historically, talismans have been objects imbued with purpose—created not only to protect but also to empower and guide. Unlike passive symbols of luck, they demand intent and action. The artists featured in The Power of Intention channel this ethos, treating their creative processes as acts of navigation through identity, memory, and spirituality while offering a timely reflection on how art responds to personal and collective challenges. The works in the exhibition collectively meditate on the role of creativity in navigating uncertainty. Created during, 2024, a year marked by global flux and challenges, exhibited works are united by their shared sentiments of optimism.
Just like a talisman transcends its physical form to embody personal empowerment, the visual language presented in the exhibition inspires a shift toward optimism and a renewed sense of collective purpose.
