communicating roots

Technique: Pastels luminance on F4 sheet.

The work wants to convey the sense of equality, starting from the fact that we are born from the same roots and we are connected to the same plant.

The same height of the two figures represents a further sense of gender equity against any stereotype.

This does not exclude that everyone has their own differences from the point of view of foliage and branches, which in this case refers to a difference from the morphological and/or behavioral point of view.

Man or Woman?

"Man or woman?"

This photograph wants to denounce the stereotypes related to the private / public dichotomy. There are represented 3 individuals, a working man, a housewife woman and the personification of society.

Society controls man and woman like pets through 2 leashes. The 2 people try to escape but society holds them tight and continues to affect them.

The society, just as represented in this work, imposes on us an attitude in today's world.

Stella Tortora

Apparent Truth

The sculpture is made by two plaster hands tied by red handcuffs: the woman's hand (on the left) has a closed handcuff to represent how she is tied up by society’s rules, while the man’s hand (on the right) also seems to have a handcuff, but it is open and the man’s pinky finger holds a key that opens the handcuffs. Therefore, this piece of art aims to visually show how, especially in the work environment, women and men seem to have the same opportunities and seem to be treated the exact same way but when it comes down to the core, men are always given an easier way out or treated as superior to women.

Giorgia Ferretti

The Eye That Looks

In this work I wanted to portray what it feels like to be watched, to feel judged, to feel nude and objectified. However, the “angel woman” I chose to represent is quite different from how it has been represented in literature and art. In my version she is strong, angelic in a way that is almost scary, and not like the others would want her to be. In a situation where she is being objectified, she looks at the one who is watching and makes them look at themselves through mirrors, as per say “why are you looking at me, look at yourself instead.”

The Hug

Free interpretation. 

I would like the viewer, emitting my vision of the work, to feel free from any kind of external influence, thus seeing the work from his own point of view.

JOINT GENRES

The true union is that one that binds two equal but different begins, the same rights with distinction. Here is a gender equality

The absurd misunderstanding of the natural well-being

This is the hand that rules over all of us, all of you. We observe in disbelief, towards another dimension: there are those who humiliate and those who despise, all slaves of a squeeze.

This is the sixth sense, but of those who know how to find it. We observe differently towards the light, the reason: there are those who win and those who lose, courage is where it hangs.

Bias against women

This picture shows a woman with some women’s bias instead of her mouth. In the picture are figured bias about women on the internet pointing out that gender inequality is a problem that has not yet been overcome.

Giulia Guardamagna

Upside down

The photo shows the opposite of the stereotype for women (they are considered to be very emotional) and for men (they don’t have to show their emotions).

Women not Shadows (Acrilico su muro)

Una donna, inizialmente accovacciata, bloccata da stereotipi culturali che la vogliono sottomessa, riesce pian piano ad alzarsi e ad acquisire consapevolezza e un volto, un'identità che prima le era stata negata.

Until I Bleed Out

Explanation: The collage presents a girl who has experienced and suffered domestic violence from her partner and almost every time has a flashback of the horrible experiences that have happened in the past, try to escape from the past through drugs.The camera represents the past in a materialistic way, because everything is preserved through chilling photos.I was inspired by the song of THE WEEKND
"Until i bleed out"

Up in the sky

 “Up in the sky” represents what women think about when their mind is just floating and they are not thinking about something in particular. There are objects usually associated to men and objects stereotypically related to women, because women can do anything. 

Elena Daliana Ciot (Dali)

We are the same no matter who we are

Regardless of nationality, race, color, sex, we are one and the same people. Whether women or men, we are all equal.

The fight for light

In this graphic illustration I wanted to highlight the equality between the purity of women and the strength behind a man’s mind. As you can see this man is trying to defend this woman from the monster that covered their palace, but he couldn’t succeed without the woman’s light, conferring to the maze light, so that they can reach the top

The Ode of Equal Souls

In my work I wanted to represent the fact that to create an exceptional community, friendship, love, equality, respect, faith and understanding are needed.

Why aren't you smiling?

Stereotypes are deleterious and harmful. They empty eyes, destroy lives and silence

those who suffer them. But still "why don’t you smile?"

Alexandra-Maria Costache

Overlooked Grief

This piece of artwork aims to showcase women's struggles in the past due to inequality. Truthfully, women's rights were first adopted in 1979, the scene depicted in this painting taking place as far back as 1900, when women, billeted, bowed their heads, being considered objects of pleasure by the male gaze. The focal point highlights a young lady in grief at a funeral, thus the choice of the garments, and presumably her husband forcefully gripping her arm, rushing her to leave, turning a blind eye to her distress. His body language is open, he seems quite jovial, whereas she is closed off, troubled, turning her head away. In their proximity, a woman is kneeling next to a grave, gently hidden by an umbrella, creating an intimate space.

Information about artwork: oil paint on prepped canvas, layered technique, dimensions 30x40 cm, 3cm in depth. Warm-cool chromatic, blue/orange complementary, an inverted approach to render depth( warm colors in background, cool in foreground ).

Attitudes toward the scene are meant to be revolting. The relationship between these three figures is meant to show the status of woman and man, the woman being almost worthless. Even more, no one even notices, this kind of behavior being the social norm.

It is well-known that women then were ruled by their husbands, them having total authority over their wives and owning their bodies. Women did not have any basic human rights and could not be too educated, their sole purpose being to serve their partner.  If the lady was not from high society, she would also have to do all house chores and labor, they were not worth more than a slave. Nowadays we can proudly say this is not a reality for us, society is evolving. Indeed, there are still plenty of issues to resolve, but if the right measures are implemented and people get educated on this behalf, we can go far.

Edoardo Di Marco (eddfut)

All genders MUST have the same rights

“All Genders MUST have the same rights and opportunity in society “ 

The main question is whether men and women are equal. The answer is not clear but it seems that the die wants to show equality. The image that represents both men and women is important because it explains to us that women and men are equal and each. 

It has a part of both sexes as representing that personal

characteristics have no gender. After all, the only difference is in the karyotype only one chromosome changes for males y and for females double x. In the second slide of the work I focussed on the reality to date for women and more difficult because society is not welcoming to their needs that must reconcile motherhood and work currently the states are trying to break down this disparity between women and men.

Ultimately, I wanted to mention The 2030 Agenda has considered gender equality as a goal to be achieved by 2030 by sensitising states to this issue by creating steps to achieve the ultimate goal.

The gaze of despair

The photograph captures the intense emotions of the subject transmitting the darkness and melancholy she feels as she resigns to the fact that her life is slipping through her fingertips due to the abuse she's enduring which causes a sense of coldness and isolation.

The game of equality

Equality is important and essential and all genders should have equal rights, responsabilities and opportunities.

in this drawing I wanted to represent that we are all human and we are made to be equal. but some people make a big difference: Men have the power. No, it's not true. We all have power and we must respect each other

The key to the future

Since the beginning of time when art was first discovered, time has passed like a piece of a puzzle helping artists to evolve little by little to the possibilities of today. We humans have the key to open the lock to further evolve the secrets of art and the solution of all problems

Let’s Watch the STARS

"Let’s watch the stars" is a collage which represents a complaint to the society of today.

The art represents the European flag, as you know the background of the flag is normally blue but I decided to make it red to represent the complaint against the society.

The women take the place of the states inside the twelve stars, there are every kind of women: black,white,young,old and also a comic one, all of them should be considered the same as the twelve states are considered the same in the European Union.

Now everyone would ask why there is a man in the middle of the flag,and why he is without the face,and why inside the face is written LET’S WATCH THE STARS.

The man is in the middle of the flag to say that he controls everything in the society,I took off the face to represent the fact that every man controls the women around him and not only the one with that face,the slogan (which is also the title of my collage) is to say that the stars which are the women should be at the same level as the man.

So please after watching this collage remember to WATCH THE STARS.

Fairness

Gender equality does not mean men against women, it means people against oppression.

Equality

I believe that every human have the same equality. Girl or Boy, we have to live in harmony, to show the care , the love and the respect to everyone.

Inequality

The artwork depicts the idea that there will never be real equality between the two genders.

Teamwork is always the best solution

I chose this photography because I believe that teamwork can bring about the most beautiful results. This is one of my favorite images that showcases the combination of women and men on a stage. Together, they managed to create a spectacular show that everyone loved. The stage is a place where anyone can rise; it is not just a place for men or just for women. I strongly believe and support that by combining masculine and feminine strength, we can achieve incredible results.

Miriam Bagnoli

A painful smile

I decided to rapresent an abusive and toxic relationship ; sometimes women aren’t aware of the pain they are feeling because they’re blinded by the love they feel for their partner, so they tend to “smile” to hide all the violence they’re receiving

Diamante Amoruso Manzari

Don’t Be Silent

L’opera rappresenta una scena di violenza domestica. Le due figure sono rappresentate dietro una serratura come se la situazione fosse osservata da fuori. Il messaggio che deve arrivare, come dice il titolo dell’opera, è di non tacere; se si subisce una violenza o ne si è a conoscenza, bisogna parlare e denunciare l’accaduto.

Alice Mattiucci

distances

I started from a painting of Hopper, where you can find a man reading a newspaper while a woman is playing a piano in a very sad way: it seems that she is living in world all alone, while the man is reading intensely and with energy and interest. On the contrary in the second image, there is the opposite situation, where a woman is reading a newspaper and the man is doing nothing besides a couple of glasses, thus looking very sad.

Alberto Lucidi

TWO WAYS OF LIVING

The contrast between the woman object on a physical and working level and the woman represented in an equal way with her legs above the man's knees or represented drinking (perhaps a drink with alcohol), dressed freely and with the figure of the dog which symbolizes safety.

Marta Bico Silva

enlightened with freedom

The freedom to feel free. That tenebrous prison called fear can be defeated by your own voice. Without scare use this powerful weapon and let freedom illuminate your path.

Luca Badii Esposito

Two sides of the same coin

In this collage we rappresentante two aspects of todays woman's position. On the left we can observe how the woman's social status can be equal and also higher respect to a man meanwhile on the right we rappresented todays society response. The two arrows indicate how this phenomenon is a continuous loop

Samuel Geloso

A normal day at the city of indifference

Description:The artwork, however extravagant and off topic it may be, talks about how despite there being a murder (regardless of whether it is a woman or a man) people ignore it or take a picture of it as if nothing had happened. This is a reflection (very subjective) of what I see when it comes to murders, especially femicides. The only word that can sum it all up is indifference.

Giorgia Bevilacqua

A WOMAN IS ALWAYS A WOMAN

dobbiamo guardare avanti, dobbiamo smettere di guardare una ragazza o una donna Pensando solo al suo corpo e a come usarlo, magari per le foto o qualcos'altro. Una donna è in grado di lavorare, proprio come un uomo, una donna può essere Indipendente, proprio come un uomo, una donna può essere un leader, proprio come un uomo. Una donna può decidere di essere ciò che vuole... proprio come un uomo

The Equal Conversation

In my artwork I wanted to represent the fact that we can share our thoughts in an equal way, without gender discrimination. 

Flavia Vitucci

DIVERSITY AS STRENGTH

Men and women are not identical; their virtues and limits meet, accept each other, mix, as do the thousand shades of colours. The horizontal black lines recall the symbol of equality, under the banner of tolerance of diversity

Broken spring

It was the evening of march 13th, we were on the terrace together when you told me with your sparkling eyes that everything was just perfect between you and him. I was simply ignorant of the destiny you were doomed to. A year later I finally realize that your eyes I will simply never see again.

Thomas Geenen

Tell them about Proserpina

In this picture, I wanted to recreate the statue of the “Rape of Proserpina” by Bernini, which is a statue depicting a myth which can be seen as a feminist myth since Proserpina is being kidnapped by the Greek god of the afterlife Ade, but in the end he makes a deal with Proserpina’s mother Cerere to take Proserpina in the outside world for 6 months every year and the other six months she would stay with him in the Nether realm. So I took inspiration from this but I translated it to a more modern view of the story to show that men are still acting like they are superior to women who are nothing but objects to them, and from this comes the title “Tell them about Proserpina” as an invitation to show young people the myth so that they can see for themselves that it is wrong and we have to stop this millenary “tradition”.

Raluca Iacobescu (Raluca)

The beauty of equality

Equality is necessary in our society and this artwork depicts this sentiment by the handshake of a man and a woman .

The art of dreaming

Even when no one supports you in your life choices, whatever they are, we must remember that we always have ourselves.

This work represents, in minimal part, some things that may have been told to us as children and from these with or without support we can get wherever our dreams want us to get.

Alexia Nadolu

Hope

I still hope that gender equality will become something normalized.So in my drawing I tried to capture simple elements that make us equal

Suffocation from stereotype

Mere definitions banalize… Let us rise from the oppressive grip. Let’s start breathing again, appreciating diversity.

Sara Sorrentino

The broken vase

The woman stuck in the vase, object of the man eye, there are many cameras that represent the woman as an “object”, as the concept of “nature”, JUST as a “body”, as a “passive individual. The woman wants to break the stereotypes, she needs to escape from the vase, to destroy it.

Raluca Toloş (Ralux)

The key of change

This artwork is a representation of the chaos that is needed in order to make a change. The dynamic shows that before making a change our beliefs are spinning in our head and I think that's what art is supposed to do, making people THINK. Leaving them wonder what is this *key supposed to mean. Is it the path for a better future?
