Art gives a touch of hope in the midst of the Covid-19 crisis hitting hard on Northern Italy: the jury of the Science Gallery Venice “Earth Water Sky”, the environmental arts and science residency program sustained over 3 years by the Primat Foundation, met virtually on  16th & 17th of March 2020 and awarded its annual prize to HASEEB AHMED (US).

The jury statement reads: “In this time of great global uncertainty, Haseeb Ahmed’s process and practice which concentrate on the relations between people, artefacts and nature show a new way of art-making for the 21st century which engages the mind, body and soul. In addition, at this particular moment which we are all experiencing, which is currently limiting the normal course of cultural activities, Haseeb showed the most imaginative way of beginning the residency, even if there is the possibility of not being present.”
