Sudario #1: Ouroboros

Sudario #1: Ouroboros
curated by Stefano Tripodi and Magali Avezou
2025

Sudario is a new visual arts magazine dedicated to critical and alternative narratives of the Mediterranean. The first issue, Ouroboros, brings together 17 international artists in a choral essay that explores the tension between magic and disaster, myth and contemporary crisis. Through a continuous visual flow designed by the Atto studio, the magazine intertwines existing works and new commissions, including an unpublished project and a limited edition by Marie Quéau.

The theme of Ouroboros—the snake that destroys and regenerates itself—becomes the key to reading the Mediterranean as a place of inseparable contradictions: catastrophe and survival, faith and violence, memory and transformation. The selected works address urgent issues such as conflict, migration, technology, ecology, and rituality, constructing a narrative that rejects romantic or simplified representations of the region.

Conceived and directed by Stefano Tripodi, Sudario was created as a platform for research on Mediterranean visual culture. For this first issue, Tripodi invited Magali Avezou to participate in the project as co-curator, contributing to the editorial development and definition of the visual journey.
