The Country of the Day After Tomorrow

The Country of the Day After Tomorrow is an exhibition that considers how we might imagine futures that are not immediate, together with those who will ultimately inhabit them. In Francesca Recchia’s curatorial vision, the exhibition becomes a relational terrain: a long-term political and human practice, a network of affections and responsibilities that take shape over time, like a story that grows quietly yet steadily. The title—conceived by Recchia together with her four-year-old niece, Emma Snædis Recchia, co-curator of the exhibition—evokes a time that is neither the present nor a distant utopia, but the interval of “the day after tomorrow”: a horizon in which responsibility towards others is nurtured like an underground seed, unseen yet essential.

The working group was convened by Francesca Recchia (1975, Avezzano, Italy) together with her niece Emma Snædis Recchia (2020, Morges, Switzerland), and features works by Stefano Graziani (1971, Bologna, Italy), Lorenzo Tugnoli (1979, Lugo, Italy), and Aziz Hazara (1992, Wardak, Afghanistan).
