The subject is Christine de Pizar, the first professional writer
and feminist in history. She was depicted by street artist
Camilla Falsini, who with her flamboyant and
disproportionate cubism wanted to represent gender
equality, the fifth of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals
created and promoted by the UN. The City of Turin, in
collaboration with Lavazza, wanted to support the idea
through the project called TOward2030. What are you
doing?, which raises awareness of these issues among the
public through the works of 17 writers, all in the name of
sustainability.
In fact, the same project also includes the mural by the
artist Zed1 on the side of the Antonelli Elementary School, in
via Vezzolano 20, entitled Povertà zero: a wallet with land
inside it, and where there is no war or poverty, a rose
blooms with a man holding a
coin. In this case the work, in
which all the artist’s technique
of reproducing watercolors with
spray cans emerges, wants to
represent the first of the 17 UN
objectives: to defeat poverty.
