Fashion and art take over NABA Rome at GROUNDS

Fashion hit the runway, art broke out of exhibition mode and NABA Rome became a live creative stage. GROUNDS seriously switched up the format. 🔥 On 1 July, the project celebrated the campus’ first six years with a night where artistic research, experimentation and different creative disciplines collided in real time. GROUNDS. RECIPES. NABA Fashion Show 2026 put collections by third-year BA in Fashion Design students centre stage, while GROUNDS. Transformative Space Binding explored the connection between body, movement and urban space through an evolving exhibition-performance. The works by BA in Painting and Visual Arts students, curated by MA in Visual Arts and Curatorial Studies students, weren’t made to sit still. As the night unfolded, they transformed into a live performance, pulling visitors into an immersive dialogue between education, artistic research and contemporary creative practice. The project was devised by Caterina Iaquinta and Diego Manfreda, with contributions from Manuela Pacella, Nicola Pecoraro, Gianni Politi, Fabio Quaranta, and Edoardo Visalli. 🎥 Ready to see GROUNDS come alive? 👆 Watch the video and relive the full night with us! - Il 1° luglio il campus NABA di Roma ha presentato GROUNDS, un progetto nato per celebrare i primi sei anni della sede attraverso una serata dedicata alla ricerca artistica, alla sperimentazione e al dialogo interdisciplinare.
