Naples confirms itself as a cultural and artistic hub and is preparing to host a highly acclaimed international artist who is a symbol and proponent of street art. In fact, the fascinating art of Banksy, the mysterious British artist who will present the long-awaited exhibition “The World of Banksy - The Immersive Experience” at the Arena Flegrea on October 11, 2024, is coming to the city.
The exhibition will run until May 4, 2025 in a totally indoor arena located inside the Mostra d'Oltremare. In the other international cities where the exhibition has already been presented, it has garnered more than 2 million visitors, so it is expected to be a triumph here in Naples as well. What's more, to gain access to the unmissable exhibition you can take advantage of the Naples Pass, which will grant a 30 percent discount on all adult tickets.
A dive into Banksy's world: the exhibition to experience in Naples
The exhibition “The world of Banksy - The Immersive Experience” will be an opportunity to create an eternal bond between Banksy and Naples, aided by the incredible anticipation there is for this event. It may be because of the halo of mystery and fascination around the figure of the British artist, but Banksy always knows how to attract hype and public attention to himself. Even those who are not closely connected to the world of street art are thunderstruck by his almost mystical aura and cheer his works. This exhibition is no different; on the contrary, it will undoubtedly follow the thread of the bewitching charm of his works.
Against the backdrop of Naples' Arena Flegrea we will find a unique exhibition, a journey inside Banksy's complex universe. More than 120 works will be presented, including graffiti, photographs, installations and prints on various materials such as canvas, fabric, aluminum, forex and plexiglass. All specially prepared and studied in detail for the exhibition.
It thus promises to be an evocative and distinctive narrative where the artist will pair a video section with some of his most iconic works. These include Ozone Angel, Steve Jobs, Napoleon and Waiting In Vain, four of the works that have made the British artist most famous in the world. All, to explain and clarify to everyone the strong social message behind his murals.
