MIAMI - TelAve -- The European Cultural Centre - Italy (ECC) announce the theme and highlights of the biennale contemporary art exhibition Personal Structures 2026, a contemporary art exhibition showcasing global artists and fostering dialogue on personal, social, and cultural growth. The 2026 edition, Confluences, celebrates the intersection of people, stories, and disciplines, a space where diverse perspectives merge to forge new currents in contemporary art.

Sara Danieli, Head of Art for ECC Italy, explains, "In an era characterized by profound global transformations, Personal Structures – Confluences explores how personal narratives build ties with collective ones, shaping an ever-evolving cultural landscape."

Bold Beauty Project (BBP), a nonprofit based in Miami, Florida, is honored to have been invited to exhibit. BBP's mission and mantra, "DISABILITY becomes BEAUTY becomes ART becomes CHANGE," exemplify the exhibition's message and aligns perfectly with the theme of Personal Structures – Confluences.
