italian politics - collage

Postcard
Collage (+ acrylic paint)
May 2018

This is a short sum up of how italian politics work:
Berlusconi is the master and even if he cannot be re-elected in Italy, he is orchestrating all the other politicians in his coalition to reach his main goal: screw italians and get as much money as he possibly can.
Salvini is just a puppet in his hands. He still is dangerous though. He is a racist, homophobic, right wing politician.
Enough said.

COMMIE - collage

I had communist/socialist  ideals even before I read Marx or knew what communism was.
I have been bullied for my ideas of an "ideal society" and I have always been told that all of this was wrong.
Thankfully my philosophy teacher introduced me to these ideologies and I found out a couple of years ago that my family has a history in militant communism during WWII : my father's uncles were directly involved into the resistance (they were called partisans in Italy) against Mussolini.

"Un-Fuck the System" #01 - up the punx

My second zine is out.
It's about being a punk in 2018 and the punk subculture in generale.
It features some of my illustrations too and some anecdotes about relatives and teachers not accepting my personality/life choices. 
It's not a rant about posers and being a social outcast. 
It's a celebration of the punx and keeping the punk spirit alive in the 21st century too.

You can find it here

Don't fuck up another generation - illustration

I am not saying that the right-wing politicians are the ONLY problem in Italy, but they sure are a HUGE pain in the ass for progress, social justice and equal laws for all people.
Dear Salvini and Berlusconi since the majority in Italy has voted for you (I still can't get my head around that) ...I am already screwed... but please don't fuck up another generation.

Grrrl in Print Issue #2

I don’t often say this but: fuck me! The second issue by Grrrl Zine Fair is even better than the first one!

For those of you who still don’t know what Grrrl Zine Fair is, despite me obsessing over it for the past year, it’s an amazing project brought together thanks to Lu Williams’ strength and creative-jedi powers.

In the past years they have organized parties, zine fairs, meetings, discussions, self-defense trainings and amazing workshops, just to name a few. For more information just check out both theirs website and their facebook page.

In this second issue of the zine we have some really interesting DIY tips, from how to make a tote bag to woodwork and stitching basics. Apparently even sex is better when you do it yourself!

There is nothing more reinvigorating than a fresh point of view from other DIYers and creatives from different cultures.

This zine is another occasion to rightfully celebrate what people have to bring to the world in terms of creative content. There is not just one way of doing it well, there is no good or bad art.

There is just doing it, and doing it yourself is the best way you can.

You can purchase this issue here, but hurry up, I believe there are only a few copies left.

"Un-Fuck the System" issue #0

Issue #0 "Skool" is available here 
Pick up a copy in Italian or English, be sure to choose the language.

Enjoy my dissent.

Last summer

I won't see my best friend for quite a while so I thought this was the time to publish all the pictures I took when she came over and we spent all the night watching films.

Oh and she has a make-up account on instagram where she publishes all her makeups (). They are cool. The page is creativecreepiness

thoughts

I wrote this on Octber 11th

I am walking through the streets of my city. But I don't feel like myself. I feel disembodied, somebody else, or something else has taken my place.

I'll move house in 4 days and this will never be my city again.

A flash of memories came rushing through my brain: the christmas decorations, the easter spent eating chocolate on the sofa, the sundays sitting at the kitchen table talking to my family, the halloween trick or treating, the long night walks when everybody's sleeping and the city is more beautiful.

The long fall evenings spent reading and talking to my middle school best friend at the phone, when instant messaging and smart phones weren't invented yet.

I guess more than my city I'll miss my past. But living in the past doesn't help.

Cherishing memories is important but making sure to keep living and making more memories is the ultimate goal I guess.
