Award

For its 6th edition, Officine Saffi Award invited the submission of works inspired by the theme Forms of Belonging. The theme explores the human need for belonging, questioning how—within an increasingly aggressive social and political context—the material world can become a space of recognition, generate a sense of proximity, and make us feel part of a shared human community. Due to its intimate, everyday, and relational nature, ceramics emerge as a privileged language for this investigation: a silent presence that inhabits the time of our lives.
Submissions closed on 26 June 2026. Applications are currently being reviewed and the shortlist will be soon revealed.
