The cinemas and theaters of Naples become exhibition places: here are the exhibitions conceived by young Neapolitan artists with the Exit Strategy!
Eight between cinemas and theaters in Naples reopen to give life to a new project called Exit Strategy. It is the idea of reconverting one's spaces and making them become display cases for exhibitions of some Neapolitan artists: a way to give a strong response and react to the crisis that is gripping the world of entertainment.

They are some among the most talented and promising artists of Naples who take part in this project curated by Lucas Memmola, just one of them, and with the coordination of Matteo Mirra.
The works of artists in cinemas and theaters
Their works want to propose a dialogue about our present, crossed by a terrible pandemic that is also leading to the identity crisis of our society, in addition to the already known health and economic crisis.
The facades of these places, ie theaters and cinemas, to exhibit the visual works of our artists. In this way, the Exit Strategy project ensures that, despite the restrictions, artistic production does not stop and can be experienced.
