Angelina Lippert ’07, Executive Director and Curator, has invited us to return to Poster House, for an SCC NYC members-only private tour of “The Future Was Then: The Changing Face of Fascist Italy”.  The tour will be led by B.A. Van Sise, curator of the exhibit.  

In a fascist movement inspired by art, how does the fascist government influence the artists living in its grasp? This exhibition explores how Benito Mussolini’s government created a broad-reaching culture that grew with and into the Futurist movement to claw into advertising, propaganda, and the very heart of the nation he commanded. 

Featuring 75 pieces from the world-renowned Fondazione Massimo e Sonia Cirulli in Bologna, Italy, this expansive exhibition chronicles the length of Mussolini’s regime, focusing on the often-blurred line between propaganda and art.

B.A. Van Sise is a photographic artist, author, and curator, primarily focused on the intersection between language and the visual form.
