It is a project curated by Alessandro Romanini and celebrates, starting exactly from the 40th birthday of Punk, the artistic avant-gardes – cultural factors that have transformed not only the aesthetics and forms of expression, but also the production methods of contemporary art, analyzing and highlighting the strong and articulated links that connect them.

The exhibition includes many photographs by John Tiberi, in front of whose camera have posed the protagonists and the iconic places of that period, which from the mid-70s changed the aspect of England and not only.
