RADICA_CulturesofChange Exhibition Design2026
Designing the set-up for the first exhibition of RADICA @radica_culturesofchange has been the occasion to create an exhibition design project based on a simple question: how can an exhibition infrastructure be produced with limited resources while remaining ecologically sustainable and adaptable to different spatial conditions?

The project is built almost entirely from wooden pallets, chosen as a readily available and easily recyclable material. Rather than treating the pallet as a temporary support, the set-up turns it into a modular architectural element: a system of platforms, plinths, walls, and structures that can be assembled and reconfigured according to different spatial conditions.

The decision to work with a limited material vocabulary was also a way to reduce production costs, minimise waste, and allow the exhibition infrastructure to have a life beyond a single installation.

The resulting system is deliberately simple and open-ended, allowing the same elements to generate different configurations while accommodating objects, moving images, and the different activities that shaped RADICA’s programme.

A temporary exhibition infrastructure designed not as a disposable backdrop, but as a flexible and ecological system that can move, adapt, and be reused.
