Beyond the Invisible: Invisible Cities and the Art of Unveiling Imagination

Date:  
13 January 2026 - 2 February 2026

Venue: 
Exhibition Area, G/F of the Library

The Beyond the Invisible exhibition invited audiences to engage with the intersections of literature, art, and design through works inspired by Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities. Building on the success of the previous edition, students explored the fictional worlds of Cecilia, Ersilia, Perinthia, and Theodora through conceptual urban layouts, garden designs, and wearable art. Each piece reflected a distinctive interpretation that transformed literary imagination into physical expression. The exhibition celebrated creative inquiry and the translation of abstract narratives into tangible forms of artistic and spatial design.
