📖 Art, counterculture, and urgent expression

Structured around eight thematic sections, the exhibition examines the dialogue between Marion Scemama and David Wojnarowicz, highlighting Scemama's status as a distinct artist in her own right alongside the renowned Wojnarowicz.

Spanning multiple mediums and formats, the displayed works reflect conservative American society dominated by wealth and authority, against the backdrop of the escalating AIDS epidemic. They also trace New York's cultural shift and the rise of a defiant, anticapitalist youth community giving voice to marginalized struggles.
