LAST DAY: AUTONOMIST ANOMALY at Handwerker Gallery

By Paul Nicholson, October 10, 2023

Wednesday October 11th will be the final day for the AUTONOMIST ANOMALY at Handwerker Gallery

The Handwerker will be open 10 - 6pm on Wednesday October 11th for the final day of THE AUTONOMIST ANOMALY guest curated by Felice Moramarco.  

Through archival images and materials and the film Settembre ‘77, this exhibition will look at the cultural production and organizing of the Italian movement Autonomia. For almost a decade throughout the 70’s, Autonomia upset the Italian political system with a wave of uprisings, animated by radical demands of equality and social justice. Through audio recordings, super 8 videos, photos, and magazines from the archives of activists of the movement, the Autonomist Anomaly recollects some of the crucial events that marked the history of Autonomia. By giving a glimpse into the dynamic organization of the movement and its unusual forms of political struggle, the exhibition aims to highlight the unique political experience that was Autonomia, and its enduring legacy that is still relevant today.

The Handwerker Gallery does not charge for admission and is free and open to campus and community, as are stickers, posters, cards, and books located at the front desk and throughout the Gallery.
