Fondazione Prada announces its activities for 2026 within its three permanent venues in Milan and Venice. By fostering an international network of artists, curators, filmmakers, musicians, and scholars, Fondazione Prada aspires to investigate human culture in all its variety and complexity. Its efforts focus on discovering new and engaging ways to approach emerging topics in the cultural debate beyond the boundaries of specific disciplines.
As stated by Miuccia Prada, President and Director of Fondazione Prada, “In 2026, our institution will try to operate as a laboratory of ideas—an experimental platform that continuously re-constitutes itself in response to the transformations of our social and cultural landscape. Artists and intellectuals from diverse generations and backgrounds will push us to frame urgent issues from multiple viewpoints, challenge current ideas, and think more profoundly.”
From January 2026, Fondazione Prada will present a broad range of exhibition formats and cultural initiatives stemming from its ever-evolving research process. The program will include thematic exhibitions, solo shows dedicated to prominent art figures such as Cao Fei, Cyprien Gaillard, Mona Hatoum, Arthur Jafa, Richard Prince, and Hito Steyerl, an extensive cinema program and talk series, musical projects and live performances, seminars, and publishing and educational activities.
