COMPULSIVE ARCHIVE x Milano Art Week 2025

Compulsive Archive is an archive and long-term project based in Milan, Italy, aimed at rediscovering and enhancing the lesser-known punk publishing, that of feminist and queer fanzines produced between the 1990s and the 2000s.

Hundreds of books, records, fetishes, bulletins, letters on paper and early emails represent the heart of Compulsive Archive, which intends to keep itself alive through different activities and moments of confrontation: talks, publications, exhibitions, artistic residencies, readings.

Starting from the idea of archive as living matter, able not only to tell the past but also to make people reflect on the present, Compulsive Archive is curretly working on the exhibition 'Safety Pink Struck In My Heart'. In the setting of Milano Art Week 2025, founder Giulia Vallicelli will show and comment a selection of punk fanzines, books and ephemera for the upcoming event.
