The image shows a mural made collectively by a group of artists participating in a festival named: Atlas of Transition: Right to the city. The image refers to a recent event in which the Italian ports were declared close to a ship with 630 migrants on board. The piece makes us reflect on how the sea can be perceived as an open space that could connect countries, but instead, it has evolved into a place conflict in which not everyone is allowed to transit freely or to arrive in an equal manner to their destination.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/
The image shows a performance made by a group of women from the feminist collective Non Una di Meno in May 2018. They dressed as handmaids in front of the imposing Duomo of the metropolitan city of Milan. By this act, the group tries to replicate Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel The Handmaid's Tales (1985), in which several 'fertile' women under a religious and political dictatorship are utilised as reproductive machines to avoid the extinction of the population. The performance also aimed to celebrate the forty years of the approval of the law providing the right abortion in Italy and invited to reflect on the possibility of a bleak future in matters of sexual and reproductive rights for women.. .This artwork is part of the project Footnotes on Equality: http://footnotesonequality.eu/all/
