“Human Brains” is Fondazione Prada’s initiative dedicated to neuroscience. Since 2020 it surveys different fields: from neurobiology to philosophy, from psychology to neurochemistry, from linguistics to artificial intelligence. After the conference “Culture and Consciousness” and series of online talks “Conversations”, the third phase of this project is the exhibition “Human Brains: It Begins with an Idea” presented at Ca’ Corner della Regina on the occasion of the Venice Art Biennale 2022. Curated by Udo Kittelmann in collaboration with Taryn Simon, it is the result of a long and in-depth research process, a multidisciplinary attempt to understand the human brain, its layered functions, and its centrality to human history carried out with Fondazione Prada and the scientific board.
As stated by Miuccia Prada, President of Fondazione Prada: “For a cultural institution whose identity is rooted in the field of visual arts, dealing with science is an intellectual and political challenge: how do we make an exhibition about ideas and knowledge?“
