A podcast weaving memory and rebirth within "The Rose That Grew From Concrete"
Date

IED Firenze is an educational partner of the exhibition The Rose That Grew From Concrete, on view at Museo Sant’Orsola from September 5, 2025, to January 4, 2026.
The exhibition, hosted in the spaces of the former San Lorenzo convent currently under restoration, draws inspiration from a celebrated poem by Tupac Shakur and brings together fourteen Italian and international artists – including Shubha Taparia, Federico Gori, Marion Flament, Chris Oh, Clara Rivault, Chiara Bettazzi, Bianca Bondi, Elise Peroi, Mireille Blanc, Beate Höing and Flora Moscovici – invited to create site-specific works in dialogue with the history and architecture of the complex.
Alongside the installations, the exhibition offers a wide-ranging program of events and cultural mediation tools, including the Sant’Orsola Podcast, conceived and produced by the Master Program in Museum Education at IED Firenze. The series, titled Dominae, was developed through the collaboration of faculty and students and gives voice to the forgotten stories of the women who inhabited Sant’Orsola – nuns, workers, refugees – through archival sources, oral testimonies, expert interviews, and conversations with contemporary artists.
Comprising three episodes released weekly starting in September, the podcast enriches the exhibition’s narrative and accompanies visitors inside and beyond the museum, extending the experience into the sonic realm.
