Giorgia Lupi
Data Humanism
“My personal belief is that data is language. It’s a lexicon for accessing the full complexity of human ideas, stories, and behaviors. It’s a vocabulary that anyone can use and anyone can understand. If we learn to truly ‘speak data,’ we can open up new worlds of meaning about ourselves, others, and everything around us.” — G. Lupi
“Giorgia Lupi – Data Humanism” the first solo exhibition by information designer and Pentagram partner Giorgia Lupi, will open on April 30 at Gallerie d’Italia – Vicenza. It will be the most extensive retrospective ever dedicated to the work of the renowned designer: an exhibition that invites critical reflection on the data we produce, consume, and interpret every day.
The exhibition—titled after the philosophy that inspires her work, Data Humanism—offers a unique insight into Lupi’s creative process and the belief that underpins her work as a designer: data is a lens through which we view the world; it is made up of human stories, actions, and decisions. Data is us.

During the opening, a talk with the artist is scheduled. She will explain how her work with data comes to life, her philosophy, and the approach that has led her to become an international reference point in the field of information design and, more broadly, communication.
During the talk, Giorgia Lupi will share her creative process, showing how it is possible to communicate data through projects that embrace context, qualitative narratives, and even imperfections or missing information.
The talk will take place on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 at 7:00 PM, is free with required reservation, and is part of the exhibition’s opening event.
