Rarely seen photos of the punk art scene in 1980s Naples will be on view at the Italian Cultural Institute from December 8, 2017 to February 6, 2018.
Against the backdrop of a city exacerbated by urban disaster, an unruly artistic movement emerged, calling themselves the “Neapolitan Savages,” and for a brief moment, their utopian credo — counter public corruption and the new political makeup with creative anarchy — gave hope to a people debased by the oppressions throughout history.
Curated by Paolo Pontoniere and Toty Ruggieri, in collaboration with Unite the Two Bays, Comune di Napoli, Accademia di Belle Arti Napoli and Campania Felix LLC.
