Layer is an artist-run space recently inaugurated inside Cool Cat, a venue already known for its openness to urban culture, artistic dialogue, and experimentation. The space was conceived as a platform for contemporary artists, emerging voices, and independent practices, with a focus on relevant and timely projects. Layer is not merely an exhibition showcase, but above all a meeting ground and arena for the confrontation of ideas, where audiences and artists alike are invited to take a stand and engage in dialogue. Located in an emblematic and accessible spot in the city, Layer functions as a meeting point between visual art, community, and everyday life, encouraging flexible formats – exhibitions, installations, performances, discussions – and relying on authenticity and collective energy.
