On Monday 8 June at 4:00 PM, From Here to Eternity, the final exhibition of the Foundation Course students, will open at RUFA’s Sala Pose, located at Via Benaco 1. Admission is free and open to the public.
The exhibition presents a selection of works created within the photography, art and design courses, offering a creative narrative of the students’ educational experience in Rome.
More than a simple tribute to the city’s iconic landmarks, From Here to Eternity offers a personal and in-depth perspective on Rome’s urban fabric. Through neighbourhoods, streets, museums and everyday spaces, students have observed, interpreted and reimagined the city, transforming it into visual maps, artistic projects and narratives capable of conveying its complexity.
The works on display stem from urban explorations, museum visits and design reflections that intertwine observation, technique and imagination. Photographs, artistic works and design projects tell stories, emotions and diverse perspectives, documenting a journey of both individual and collective growth.
Rome thus becomes not only a backdrop, but also a research tool: a place through which to investigate space, the fragmentation of images and the subjectivity of perception, giving shape to personal visions that reflect the sensitivities and experiences of each participant.
The exhibition is curated by Erica Bellucci, Alessandro Carpentieri, Fabrizio Dell’Arno and Iris Gentili.
The Foundation Course
The exhibition also offers an opportunity to learn more about the RUFA Foundation Course, a programme designed for international students who wish to prepare for admission to Italian universities and AFAM institutions.
The course enables students coming from educational systems with fewer than 12 years of schooling to obtain the additional 60 CFA credits required for enrolment in an Italian university, through a programme that combines Italian language and culture studies, art and design history, writing workshops, and practical activities in photography, video, art and design.
An experience that allows participants to build strong academic foundations, deepen their understanding of the Italian cultural context, and develop creative and design skills in preparation for their future university studies.
