POST DISASTER (Gabriele Leo, Gabriella Mastrangelo, Grazia Mappa, Peppe Frisino) is an interdisciplinary collective whose practice intersects spatial, performative and curatorial actions. Their research uses the metaphor of disaster as a local lens to investigate territories in relation to global dynamics and tensions.
In 2018 they started POST DISASTER ROOFTOPS, a long term project staged on the rooftops of Taranto, an industrial city in southern Italy that is going through a long-term environmental, social and economic crisis.. Through the lens of the city, the practice-based investigation addresses the role of extraction/production processes in relation to a wider mediterranean context.
Their work has been exhibited at independent platforms and cultural institutions such as Biennale di Venezia, Triennale Milano, Cà Foscari University – Venice, Fondazione Matera-Basilicata 2019, Malta Art Biennale.
From 2025 Post Disaster is also an associated artist of the European platform IN SITU.
