Homo Faber: The Journey of Contemporary Craft

Homo Faber returns to Venice, the biennial celebration of master craftsmanship promoted by the Michelangelo Foundation. With The Journey of Life, curated by Luca Guadagnino in collaboration with Nicolò Rosmarini, Fondazione Giorgio Cini hosts an exhibition unfolding the stages of life through singular creations by artisans from around the world, in dialogue with Venice’s enduring culture of making.

Within this setting, Nexa Event & Travel Designers contributes through a multi-layered approach. From the Press Preview — overseeing the logistics of international media programmes and early-access visits across the Foundation and the city — to Private Visits, conceived for small groups and crafted as immersive journeys between the exhibition, workshops and ateliers.

Having been involved in previous editions, Nexa once again supports the organisation with a carefully orchestrated operational direction, from managing activities dedicated to the international press to coordinating guest reception on the Island of San Giorgio Maggiore. The project extends beyond the exhibition itself, weaving connections with Venice’s artisanal fabric to shape a cohesive and fully realised experience.

A key element lies in the team: a carefully selected and trained staff working alongside the Young Ambassadors, ensuring seamless guidance, orientation and continuous support.

A discreet yet defining contribution, connecting content, people and place, and helping shape Homo Faber into a fluid and coherent experience.
