Since 1923, we have organized the International Exhibitions every three years, inviting designers, architects, artists, and collectives from around the world to focus on a particular theme.
After tackling the themes of sustainability with Broken Nature (2019) and the mysteries of the universe with Unknown Unknowns (2022), the 24th International Exposition closes this trilogy by focusing reflection on the human dimension and addressing an urgent and political issue such as the growing inequalities that characterize cities and the contemporary world. Inequalities is a collective project that, through exhibitions, installations, special projects and events, questions the global challenges related to the differences present in various spheres of existence: from economic to ethnic, from geographic origin to gender.
The 24th International Exhibition also includes a section devoted to international participations, solicited under the auspices of the BIE - Bureau International des Expositions.
