Final Work
Mezzogiorno

Description

The theme and focus of my work is the existence and the struggles of some resistant peasant enterprises pursuing the worthiest human ideals and new agricultural methods in Sicily, against the iniquity of market economy, which need exploitation and modern forms of slavery to survive.
For the realization of this work, I personally went to Sicily in October to collect material and interview people who work in two such groups: Rural Community Terre di Palike and Contadinazioni.

Bio

I am a comics artist and illustrator. My current research is focused on graphic-journalism. My goal is to collect and share stories of persons that actively try to build networks of fair and equitable relationships, both in and outside the workplace.
