Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo in Turin opens a solo exhibition by Andrea Bowers on Thursday 29 October at 6:30pm, titled La Ragnatela. The show runs through 28 March 2027 and is curated by Bernardo Follini.

Bowers, an American artist based in Los Angeles, has spent more than three decades intertwining art practice with activism, bringing overlooked figures and moments from histories of social struggle into view. This exhibition turns to her long-standing interest in ecofeminism and in the anti-nuclear and disarmament feminist movements of the 1980s, with a particular focus on the Italian experience of that decade.

At its centre is La Ragnatela (The Web), the women's peace camp established in 1983 at Comiso, Sicily, in opposition to the installation of a NATO military base and in support of nuclear disarmament. Alongside a selection of existing works, the exhibition presents new productions devoted to the camp, including new neon works, works in Bowers's recurring formats of political ribbons and a cardboard piece, and rare archival documents from the 1980s gathered with the help of a network of activists and researchers.

The show is one of five exhibitions opening at the Fondazione the same evening, alongside presentations by Nan Goldin, Joseph Yaeger, Aziza Kadyri and Louis Morlæ, each taking up a different facet of contemporary life, from social struggle and feminism to memory, identity and technological change.
