From December 11, 2025, the MACRO - Museum of Contemporary Art in Rome will once again welcome the public with an exhibition season entirely dedicated to the Eternal City, its artistic scene, and the creative energies that animate it.

The program, promoted by the Department of Culture of Rome Capital and the Special Company Palaexpo, produced and organized by the Special Company Palaexpo, is conceived by the artistic director Cristiana Perrella, who inaugurates her vision of a comprehensive, lively, and receptive museum, in which the exhibition schedule is accompanied by a daily proposal capable of making it an open and culturally vital place.

Jonathas de Andrade. Sisters without a name, curated by Cristiana Perrella, visible from December 11, 2025 to April 6, 2026, is instead a new video by the Brazilian artist, commissioned by Conciliazione 5, the space for contemporary art promoted by the Dicastery for Culture and Education of the Holy See, and produced with the support of the In Between Art Film Foundation.

The video, which, after the preview at Conciliazione 5, will be visible at MACRO for the following months, is a new production born from a research conducted at the Lelio and Lisli Basso Foundation and dedicated to a community of nuns who, in the 1960s in Brazil, intertwined spirituality, political commitment, and social pedagogy to move - having left their vows - to Rome because they were threatened by the military dictatorship, continuing as laywomen their action in favor of the oppressed. Through archive materials and direct testimonies, de Andrade restores the poetic and political strength of a collective practice of freedom and resistance, weaving an ideal dialogue between Belo Horizonte and Rome.
