New exhibition!
Where Monsters Are Born: Documenting a Fascist Revival in the Streets of Rome, 2018-2019
An exhibition by Dr. Brian J. Griffith and the Fresno State Library.
Dates Open: January 27 – March 22, 2025.
Exhibition is free and open to the public during regular library hours.
Reception Date and Time: January 27, 2025 at 3 p.m. Open to campus community and guests.
Location: Pete P. Peters Ellipse Balcony Gallery
Fresno State Library (3rd Floor North Wing)
Using propaganda harvested directly from the streets of Rome, this exhibition looks critically at the visual and spatial strategies used by Italy’s neo-fascists to further their aims in the public square. Underscoring how design, history, and selective memory embolden far-right populism, this exhibition challenges the viewer to identify and combat authoritarian messages in everyday spaces and supports visual literacy in our civic discourse.
