Matilde Cassani is an Italian artist and designer whose work sits at the boundary between architecture, installation design, and event-making. Her practice investigates the spatial implications of cultural pluralism in contemporary cities.
Through installations, environments, and temporary devices, she explores the relationship between public space, rituality, and collective identities.
Her works have been exhibited in major international institutions and significant exhibition contexts.
In 2011, she presented the solo exhibition Sacred Spaces in Profane Buildings at the Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York. She designed the Kingdom of Bahrain Pavilion at the 2012 Venice Architecture Biennale. In 2014, she participated in the Venice Architecture Biennale with the work A Celebration Day, later acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Her work has also been included in events such as the Chicago Architecture Biennial, the Oslo Architecture Triennale, and Manifesta 12 in Palermo.
Alongside her artistic practice, she is active in academia across several international institutions. She currently teaches between Milan and London, contributing to the education of new generations of designers and artists.
