Hey Ho! Let’s go!

From June 18th to 21st, projection mapping by Roberto Santoro and Blending Pixels will be on the façade of the Aragonese Castle.

The show traces the journey of an aesthetic born on the margins—in New York garages, London pubs, on walls covered in torn posters—and which, decade after decade, has come to colonize stadiums, advertising, and mass culture.

From the Ramones to Blink-182, via the Sex Pistols, the Aragonese Castle becomes the surface on which this transformation is rewritten in real time: each act of the show is an era, each shift in visual register is a handover between the street and the market. There’s no nostalgia for a lost purity, nor a judgment on the commercialization of punk.

Punk isn’t dead, it’s just changed status: from revolution to widespread aesthetic, from a cry to a critical attitude that continues to circulate beneath the surface of pop culture. The Aragonese Castle serves as a mirror: it’s up to the viewer to recognize themselves in the complexity of a movement that sought to change the world and, in its own way, partially succeeded.

Medimex 2026 is an International Festival & Music Conference promoted by the Apulia Region and Puglia Culture as part of the Puglia Sounds project for the development of the regional music system. The event will take place in Taranto from 17 to 21 June 2026.
