The pyramidality of socio-political structures is embedded in our collective human imaginaries, materialities, and passions; it has survived a multiplicity of plagues, wars, natural disasters, and other calamities over the centuries.

Cyber-PiraMMMida—an online portal and a consequent virtual symposium, the online version of PPV’s show at the (COVID-postponed) Venice Biennale of Architecture 2020—is constructed around three conceptual cornerstones: Power, Planet, and Plague. It comprises more than twenty contributions created by artists, architects, thinkers, activists, scholars, and other piraMMMidalists, in which they explore the politics and aesthetics of the present-day pyramids (and pharaohs) populating our planet in a time of pandemic, ecological meltdown, and fascism resurgent.
