Banski and the Street Art at the Arsenali Repubblicani – Pisa

From the streets to legend. The elusive genius of Banksy and the great masters of street art are coming to Pisa from 26 December to 16 May 2027. An extraordinary exhibition set against the backdrop of the Arsenali Repubblicani: from the historic insights of Keith Haring to the provocations of Obey, Blek le Rat, Mr Brainwash and TvBoy.
The undisputed star of the exhibition is Banksy, currently the most significant figure in the entire world of street art. The mystery surrounding him and his increasingly controversial works – which are openly directed against the world’s ‘powers that be’ – continues to fuel the myth of an elusive and revolutionary artist. Yet, alongside his success, criticism has also followed.

The exhibition also features two giants of street art, active in the 20th and 21st centuries respectively.
The first is Keith Haring, who rose to fame thanks to the murals he created in the underground in the 1980s (as well as in Pisa with ‘Tuttomondo’). The other is Shepard Fairey, known by his alias Obey, currently one of the world’s most important street artists.
