#somethingiswrong

For the first edition of #somethingiswrong, five bilingual (German and Italian) poster campaigns opposing violence against women were created in South Tyrol in 2020-21. The motifs were designed by five pairs of artists and authors. The five poster campaigns used public and digital space to counteract the narratives of the normal, to contradict the silence and to stand on the side of those affected. The posters are the result of joint discussions between the artists and authors and the curators, local experts and activists.

Around 4000 posters were displayed on public billboards and advertising spaces in South Tyrol between June and September 2021. In addition, the posters of the first edition will be distributed nationally and internationally by individuals, associations, and public authorities.

The first edition of #somethingiswrong is a project by Lungomare in collaboration with Kunst Meran Merano Arte and Summer School Südtirol.
