This group exhibition, curated by artist Franko B with the critical participation of Maurizio Coccia, Filippo Mollea Ceirano, and Mara Predicatori, brings together a diverse array of works, created using diverse techniques, by nine young artists, both Italian and international, selected by the curator: Marco Berton, Andrés Felipe Castaño, Flaminia Cicerchia, Alberto Danelli, Pamela Diamante, Arvin Golrokh, Abdel Karim Ougri, Gabriele Provenzano, and Fabio Weik.

The works include sculptures, assemblages of objects or mechanical devices, ceramics, traditional paintings, video installations, and photographs. The curatorial project born from Franko B's vision is not, in fact, to organize a harmonious and reassuring exhibition, but to raise doubts, questions, positions, and, if necessary, even conflicts, through the interaction of diverse approaches. It is an investigation of the contemporary world, the anxieties it provokes, how we relate to it and how we confront it.

As Franko B explains in his interview with Mara Predicatori, this encapsulates the meaning of the title: religion does not refer to anything sacred or prepackaged solutions: "Our practice, even temporarily, becomes our religion." The artist's function, understood in the broadest sense of the term, becomes the search for answers and solutions through work that stimulates, provokes, disturbs, and instigates reasoning. The differences between the various approaches reflect a sense of subjectivity denied from above, but also the possibility of finding common ground through creative practice.
