Post-turismo: Rome B&Bs Become Exhibition Spaces

Post Ex, an artist-led initiative established in 2020 in Rome's Centocelle area by Eleonora Cerri Pecorella, Francesco D’Aliesio, Luca Grimaldi, Gian Maria Marcaccini, and Lulù Nuti, is unveiling its inaugural outdoor initiative, Post-turismo. Curated by Giuliana Benassi, this project features three traveling group exhibitions at various bed and breakfasts in central Rome. The first exhibition opens on December 14 at 6 PM at via Ezio 19 (Rione Prati), showcasing artists such as Genuardi/Ruta, Autumn Knight, Luca Grimaldi, Girolamo Marri, Lisa Sebestikovae, and Calixto Ramìrez, running until December 19. Following this, the second exhibition will be held from January 11–16 at via Monte Brianzo 64 (Piazza Navona), featuring works by Eleonora Cerri Pecorella and others. The final exhibition is scheduled for February 8–13 at via Tasso 16 (Esquilino) with artists including Elena Bellantoni and Michela de Mattei. A publication by Forse, led by Davide Caldarini and Giulia Cabassi, will accompany the project, which originated during the initial lockdown and received funding from VitaminaG (GenerAzioniGiovani.it), the Lazio Region's Youth Policies, and the Italian government's Department for Youth, addressing the vulnerabilities in urban and housing dynamics highlighted by the pandemic's impact on Rome's historic center.
