Prada Frames Returns for Fourth Edition with In Transit Exhibit
The highly anticipated Prada Frames is back for its fourth edition, bringing with it a thought-provoking exhibit that runs parallel to Milan’s Salone del Mobile. Curated by the renowned design and research studio Formafantasma, this year’s event, titled “In Transit,” continues the initiative’s mission to ignite cross-disciplinary dialogue at the intersection of design, culture, and society.
Exploring the Theme of In Transit
The 2025 exhibit delves into the theme of “In Transit,” presenting an in-depth exploration of infrastructure as a powerful force that shapes movement. This includes the movement of people, goods, data, and power. From the internet to global logistics systems, the exhibit dissects how mobility intersects with digital transformation, environmental concerns, and societal inequalities. It highlights the contradictions in a world where goods flow freely, but people do not.
Conversations and Venues
The conversations at Prada Frames will take place in two venues: the Padiglione Reale at Milan’s Central Station and aboard the restored 1950s Arlecchino train, originally designed by Gio Ponti and Giulio Minoletti. Both spaces serve as symbolic backdrops, questioning the systems of mobility and societal structure they once upheld.
A Stellar Lineup of Speakers
Design critic Alice Rawsthorn will facilitate a stellar lineup of speakers, including Paola Antonelli, Kate Crawford, Metahaven, Hito Steyerl, and Samia Henni, among others. Each speaker will offer unique insights into the global landscape of hypermobility and infrastructure.
Free Admission with Registration
Admission to Prada Frames In Transit is free, but registration is required. Starting March 31, interested individuals can register via Prada’s official website. Attendance will be granted based on availability.
