Salone degli Incanti, an important exhibition space in the center of Trieste, stages a major show of Banksy works.
From November 25th 2022 to April 10th 2023, “Banksy: The Great Communicator” exhibition arrives at Salone Degli Incanti in Trieste.
It is the new exhibition dedicated to Banksy, the English street artist famous for his artworks and for having protected his identity so effectively that he/ she remains unknown.
“Banksy: The Great Communicator” exhibit offers about 60 works by the famous street artist from private collections.
The artworks are dedicated to war, wealth and poverty, animals, globalization, consumerism, politics, power, ecology. All of them are communicating Banksy’s original and non-conformist language addressed to the public in a direct and impactful way.
“Many thanks to Friuli Venezia Giulia region and the city of Trieste. It’s a pleasure for me to work here, in this spectacular city. It needs to become better known,” explained the exhibition curator, Gianni Mercurio who underlined that a similar Banksy exhibit in Milan was “an enormous success.” Banksy “is a great communicator. Every piece of his holds a message especially for the younger generations.”
“This exhibition is fascinating in many ways. We are excited to continue on the way of bringing ever more attention to our beautiful city,” added Trieste’s councilor for culture, Giorgio Rossi.
“We decided – successfully- to promote our region almost 4 years ago. Friuli Venezia-Giulia is becoming one of the most researched regions in Italy. The city of Trieste has enormous potential and we’re just at the beginning,” added Sergio Bini.
“It’s a grand challenge and a great opportunity for the city of Trieste. It’s not an easy job to be able to make an exhibition like this. I am convinced that many will visit this exhibition,” confirmed the president of FVG, Massimiliano Fedriga.
The exhibition will open on November 25th at Salone degli Incanti in Trieste, Monday-Thursday 9 am – 8 pm; Friday and Sunday 9 am – 9 pm, Saturday 9 am – 10 pm.
