Conceived as a series of playful and creative publications and published by Sali e Tabacchi Journal for Pistoia's Ondo Spazio, Ondo Agenda accompanies each exhibition hosted at the space, deepening research, engaging the public, and documenting Ondo’s evolving journey. Inspired by 1970s diaries in the textile warehouse hosting Ondo's exhibitions, the series blends personal reflections with scholarly insight, making art and research more accessible.
This edition focuses on Rapporto, Mia Sanchez's solo exhibition, which recently opened at Ondo. It is the first solo show by an international artist and the first to explore the surrounding industrial landscape. The exhibition draws from the textile archive left behind from the warehouse’s previous use. It is the outcome of Sanchez’s research into the material samples found on site at Ondo and her study of the Prato–Pistoia industrial context.
This issue includes contributions by Valentina Bartalesi, an art historian and postdoctoral researcher at the Bibliotheca Hertziana—Max Planck Institute for Art History, and curator Chiara Siravo.
