HOMANITY: Beyond Home

As the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025 comes to a close, we gather in the space of A Space Gallery to celebrate a new beginning — the birth of the HOMANITY movement.

This exhibition marks the end of a significant chapter, but more importantly, it marks the beginning of a movement that seeks to redefine the concept of home in the 21st century. The HOMANITY project, developed in collaboration with the Institute of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Zielona Góra, is not merely a static installation, but an evolving dialogue between art and architecture, reflecting the need for a new understanding of home as a process rather than a structure.

The paintings of Józef Krzysztof Oraczewski serve as a powerful backdrop for this conversation. Through his emotive works, Oraczewski invites us to engage with the idea of home as a space of care, coexistence, and healing — a space where rhythm, light, and human connection come together to form a living environment.

A special moment in the evening will feature the presentation of “Healing Houses” by Alicja Maciejko, architect and researcher. Maciejko introduces a model of relational architecture, where homes respond to the emotions, rhythms, and well-being of their inhabitants, thereby contributing to a holistic approach to living spaces.

This event signals not only the conclusion of the Biennale but also the beginning of the HOMANITY philosophy. It will continue to guide our exploration of home, belonging, and Venice, shaping the discourse for years to come. HOMANITY will become an integral part of the A Space Gallery program, forging a connection between art and architecture in the pursuit of new ways of living, relating, and existing in the world.
