Unbreakable: Women in Glass is the celebration of the 64 female artists Berengo Studio has had the honor to collaborate with during its 30-year history. Among the reasons behind the award, the jury cited the originality of the project, conceived and realized specifically for the occasion of The Venice Glass Week Festival, its strong exhibition concept, which is founded on the consideration that, although the art of glass has historically been dominated by men, over time more and more women have decided to engage with the infinite creative possibilities of the material. It has generally been female artists who have most often pushed the Maestri of Studio Berengo to experiment with innovative techniques and try to redefine the limits associated with glass making. In a historical moment in which female artists, despite the progress achieved in recent years, continue to fight for their full recognition, the Berengo Foundation intends to honor their indestructible spirit.
