The exhibition presents a selection of outcomes from We Say Stop., an initiative conceived and developed by the dcxcg research group with the aim of addressing gender-based violence from the perspective of communication design.
The initiative was structured around a series of actions involving the Bachelor's Degree Programme in Communication Design at Politecnico di Milano and other Italian universities. For future designers, these activities represented an opportunity to express their voices through the tools, methods, and languages specific to the discipline, developing posters aimed at combating, denouncing, and preventing forms of violence perpetrated by men against women.
The result of a process of research, reflection, and academic training, the 90 posters address the many manifestations of violence, including sexual and psychological violence, revenge porn, hate speech, forms of reproductive coercion, workplace discrimination, stalking, cyberstalking, and more recent forms of abuse such as deepnude technology.
Universities involved in the initiative: Politecnico di Bari, Università di Camerino, Università degli Studi della Campania "Luigi Vanvitelli”.
Exhibition curated by: Valeria Bucchetti, Francesca Casnati. Department of Design, Politecnico di Milano.
