“Banksy: The Great Communicator” exhibition arrived at Salone Degli Incanti in Trieste, which will remain open from November 25th 2022 to April 10th 2023.
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.
