Hypostasis – an exhibition by eight young Roman artists

The portal of Italians in the world, Italiani.it, has organised an art exhibition by young Roman artists, which will be held in Malta. The exhibition will be opening on May 25 and will be held at the headquarters of the Dante Alighieri Society at 134 Old Bakery Street, Valletta.

The recent pandemic has enormously limited the possibilities of expression and interaction, especially for young people, those young people who were once projected into an international future without fear of physical restrictions, as regards both material spaces and human contacts, the so-called “Erasmus” generation.

The pandemic contingency has undoubtedly contributed to the creation of trauma but has simultaneously aroused in young people a sense of revenge in view of their future, kindling a desire to express themselves, to get involved, and also reconsider their pre-pandemic life.
