yesterday woke up with a special music
today my awakening is not so gay
black people are hardly fighting for thir rights and an entire town of south italy, rosarno, is shocked / wounds and aggressions by police – government objects with a diffident and almost racist attitude /
would like you to watch a couple of video – they are in italian but words are not needed to understand what happens / the first is about the black protest and the second one shows conditions in which those people live

a short note of roberto saviano (in italian)

on the first day of the year, published a quite long post with some considerations about life and artistic work – it took me some time, wanted to write it in english to make all of you understand a little bit more of my thoughts /
don’t ask how many of you read it – but actually people go on in commenting just nice photos or interesting music without expressing their ideas and doubts about what I write here /
now I need an help and don’t care if you will get bored of my blog and will never come back
I need to receive some solutions about the meaning of visual activity – and really would like to know if someone of you ever thought about his/her work also as a way to better a specific situation – maybe racism, or censure, or environmental desease (just to quote few) /
how much of the real world (and not of your merely individual life) you put in your everyday visual work (or in your blogs?) and above all, HOW do you do it? because it is so hard for me not to be able to find a way, and often fall back in the usual boring and individualist decoration!

days ago social design zine closed its activity
it was a special blog about design, graphics and all social connections with this kind of matter /
they closed because noticed that people was too passive and silent and that the debate was stagnant /
understand very well their claim about a more intense debate
I know that I can’t pretend or hope anything and I don’t – but I need solutions – I need my blog to have a sense and a direction, to let me grow
need (my) drawings to lead to some questions and not only to ornate some living room around the world

have a good sunday – mine will be probably rainy and meditative
