May 28th, 2026 — Civitella is pleased to share word of Lara Baladi‘s (CRF 2025) latest solo exhibition Z FOR ZARAFA at Gypsum, her first solo show with the gallery, and comprised of work she created during her Civitella residency last year.
Emerging from Anatomy of Revolution, her monumental web-based ABC of global revolts, the exhibition unfolds through a new body of multimedia works spanning tapestry, photography, web-art and sculptural installations.
For Lara, the letter Z for Zarafa (“Zain” in Arabic) serves as an entry into the ABC of Anatomy of Revolution, tracing intertwined histories of migration, diplomatic exchange, and revolutions.
The exhibition is accompanied by The Anatomist, a publication co-produced by Gypsum and launched on the occasion of the exhibition.
There will be an opening reception on Tuesday, June 2nd from 7 to 9 PM. The show will run through September 23rd, 2026.

Complimenti, Lara!
