Giorgia Lupi: Data Humanism at Gallerie d'Italia

A nine room exhibition surveying two decades of the lauded information designer's work.

The latest exhibition at Gallerie d’Italia in Vicenza, Italy, is Pentagram Partner Giorgia Lupi’s first solo exhibition, Giorgia Lupi: Data Humanism (Giorgia Lupi: L’umanesimo dei dati), curated by Francesco Poroli for the Illustri Festival 2026. The nine-room installation charts an in-depth survey of the lauded designer: sketches, data-driven paintings, digital projects, tiles, clothes, rugs, and visual identities. An exploration of Lupi’s philosophy of data humanism—the belief that all datasets are rooted in human actions and decisions—the exhibition invites visitors to consider how data can tell stories, forge connections, and act as a language for revealing the world. 

Lupi’s work also utilizes personal data and stories to grapple with figures that concern the lives of millions. Intertwining personal narratives with global datasets—climate patterns, health indicators, and populations—The Room of Change confronts the viewer with data that is human-centered, even at a global scale. By revealing the human impact of these larger datasets, the installation allows the viewer to imagine these individual stories unfolding on a scale of millions. 

Throughout the exhibition and across Lupi’s work is a recurring focus on the craft of storytelling with data, independent of subject matter or media. The graphic patterns in her clothing collaboration with &OtherStories print, stitch, and embroider the contributions of underrepresented women onto the fabric. Her project with Well Woven documents the disappearing global history of textile making. Data is everywhere—a byproduct of every interaction, exchange, and decision. Giorgia Lupi: Data Humanism is a testament to data’s use as a cultural steward, a mode of storytelling, and a medium through which we can gain empathy and understanding. In this way, Lupi insists that data is a language: an abstraction of the tangible into a system that expresses thoughts, ideas, and emotions.

Giorgia Lupi: Data Humanism is on view at Gallerie d’Italia Vicenza through April 29–August 30, 2026. For more information and ticket information, please visit the Gallerie d’Italia website.
