Pylon 134

Highway pylon 134 with one side with a child reaching up to draw a smiley sun. "Restiamo Umani" (We remain human) is spray painted top left.  On the other side a large hand is reaching up to another hand with "dimmi chi escludi, ti diro chi sei" (tell me who you exclude, I'll tell you who you are) - Don Andrea Gallo written on the top.

'I thought of creating a work that could represent the history and identity of the city, highlighting its long tradition of integration and multiculturalism. Made in just over two days with the stencil art method, the work is divided into the two sides of the pylon: on one side a little girl is represented, who on tiptoe draws stylized shapes of boats, ships and a sun, metaphorically throwing the message to remain human (written in the upper left). The second facade instead wants to completely overturn the ideological dynamics on migrations, representing in fact a hand of color that saves, at sea, a "white" hand, launching a contrasting message and thus posing the question of who will save humanity. The famous phrase of Don Gallo "tell me who you exclude and I will tell you who you are" reinforces the message. It was an honor and pride for us to be able to collaborate with Walk The Line and Comunità San Benedetto al Porto in the realization of this work.' CHEKOS
