RUPTURE opens in Venice’s historic Santa Croce district

RUPTURE opens in Venice’s historic Santa Croce district, bringing its unique vision to the heart of the city’s museum quarter. Conceived by Alexandre Sap as “a gallery of books, not a bookstore,” the space reimagines the contemporary reading experience through independent publishing, art, design, music, and cultural exchange.

The new location marks the expansion of RUPTURE’s growing ecosystem, with the launch of its publishing house, record label, and podcast studio. For the opening of the space, Ora Ïto presents Grammatology Part 3, a vibrant series exploring language, geometry, and modernist architecture through bold forms and color.

A new cultural destination!
