UBIQUA was a festival exploring the relationship between photography and poetry, hosted at Villa Ghirlanda Silva in Cinisello Balsamo within the spaces of the National Museum of Photography (MUNAF).

The first edition took place from 11 to 14 September 2025 and was conceived by poet Davide Rondoni. The festival brought together image, poetry, sound, and performance in a multidisciplinary programme designed to explore the dialogue between different artistic languages.

Quindici19 managed the executive production of the festival, coordinating its organisation, programme development, and public activities.

The four-day programme included talks and discussions on photography and poetry, photography and publishing workshops, exhibitions and artistic installations, performances and urban happenings, and participatory discussions between artists and audiences.

Among the invited guests and participating organisations were Michele Smargiassi, Umberto Fiori, Antonio Riccardi, Ludovica Pellegatta, Silvia Mazzucchelli, the photography collective Cesura, Dito Publishing, and several artists and cultural practitioners from across Italy.

Across the four days, the festival recorded over 950 attendees, highlighting the public interest in a format combining artistic experimentation and cultural dialogue.
