Street Art Revolution: Four Metro-Line Routes Through Graffiti History in Parma

exhibition · 2026-04-26

Palazzo Tarasconi in Parma hosts 'Street Art Revolution,' an exhibition curated by Giuseppe Pizzuto that reimagines the history of street art through four color-coded routes inspired by subway lines. The show opens with Andy Warhol, who influenced street artists through image reproducibility, then traces the movement from 1970s New York writing to contemporary European scenes. The yellow line covers France with Blek Le Rat, Jef Aérosol, JonOne, and Invader; the blue line highlights the UK and Banksy; the red line traverses Europe including Italian artists Microbo, Bo130, Sten and Lex, Biancoshock, Hogre, and the Orticanoodles collective. Most works are unique pieces, emphasizing the fluid, cross-cultural nature of street art. The exhibition runs in the basement spaces of Palazzo Tarasconi.
