“Fighting For Life” Awareness Campaign Against Domestic Violence

ADVERTISEMENT

Domestic Violence is as Pandemic as Coronavirus.

The contemporary artist aleXsandro Palombo stages the actresses of the famous TV series “Doctor House” and “Desperate Housewives” in a new series of works:”Fighting for Life”, frontline bruises vs confinement bruises, from Lisa Edelstein and Eva Longoria, Olivia Wilde and Teri Hatcher to Jennifer Morrison and Marcia Cross. An awareness campaign against domestic violence to focus on the many women around the world constrained to stay home with violent partners during the Coronavirus confinement.

Palombo’s work suggests a profound reflection by connecting the two battles that many women are currently facing. On one hand, nurses and doctors involved on the front line fighting against the global Coronavirus pandemic and on the other hand women facing the Corona virus confined at home and struggling with their violent partner… Both are fighting for life.

The ongoing restrictions and forced coexistence can mean a worsening of daily mistreatment and this condition leads women to live in constant danger.

Among his latest works that dealt with the theme of violence against women: “Just Because I am a Woman” the street art series that appeared on many walls of the city of Milan, Italy with the leaders of world politics as protagonists: Angela Merkel, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Brigitte Macron, Aung San Suu Kyi and Sonia Gandhi.
