Winning illustration of the competition:

ABITARE IL CORPO

Organized by Bookolica Festival and Botteganomade

The theme chosen is living the body, a complex and topical topic more than ever.

Daily, in fact, the bodies are the subject of discourses based on prejudices and stereotypes, on the roles socially built around the male or female sex, on rigid standards of conformity that tend those who do not fall under exclusion and invisibility.

Too often these systemic narratives insinuate themselves in the private, in the personal: first as internalized elements, as a consolidated foreign eye inside each of us that judges our body;

And then, as obstacles to be faced in the social context in which you are inserted.

To demand and occupy a space in a society where one is subject to systemic discrimination becomes a political issue.
