Unruly
The body in punk
27. Jun. 2026 — 13. Dec. 2026
Be confronted by the eccentric and provocative body as ARoS puts the spotlight on punk’s creative revolution with the exhibition Unruly – The body in punk.
Featuring around 130 works, the exhibition traces punk’s origins in 1970’s London and shows how the movement spread and changed – with a special focus on Berlin’s subcultures. Pain, wildness, imagination. Energy, boldness, defiance. Punks used the body as a form of resistance against discipline and societal norms imposed by a world they saw as already collapsing. In punk, bodily expression was political.
Unruly is the result of a post-doctoral research project in collaboration between ARoS and Aarhus University and is curated by external curator and post-doc researcher Marie Arleth Skov. The three-year research project is supported by Ny Carlsbergfondet.
