This Artist Created An Awareness Series By Portraying Cartoon Characters As Victims Of Violence Or Breast Cancer

Street art is a great medium to spread awareness. It can reach lots of people by being placed in the right place and at the right time.

The 19th of October was known to be the International Day to Combat Breast Cancer, and now, on the upcoming 23rd of November, there will be a commemoration of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. These two important dates and issues deserve all the attention possible.

With that in mind, Italian artist Alexsandro Palombo, a fan of pop culture who usually plays with modern icons and makes awareness series, used Simpsons characters and Disney princesses to pose in his street art as victims of violence or cancer to address those painful topics.

Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there. I wish the day had about 40 hours to be able to do everything I want.

Hello Pandas! My name is Ieva, though it's often mistaken for the word 'Leva,' and in Lithuanian, it means 'loser' (insert the pain emoji). While I don't take offense if you accidentally call me a loser, I thought I'd share something interesting with you, which I also do professionally at work.Anywayyy, my favorite part here is introducing you to creative people who deserve just as much recognition as famous celebrities. Besides that, I also enjoy memes and funny, lighthearted posts, and occasionally, I find myself drawn to a bit of internet drama.

Sorry if this is Incredibly Offensive, but why do they [the princesses] all have the exact same [injuries] as each other in the first series?

Most people are right handed. If a right handed punch connects with a person standing in front of them, that person is likely to sustain the most substantial injuries on the left side of the face. Or so I've heard. Yeah.

I like the message and the reason behind it... but o need to say it. Not a fan of the art. This whole post seems lazy which is sad since it is such an important message. I've just seen the message done so much better so many times.
