Mis Hermanas — Fosca Vianello

A tribute to those who have protested with their bodies: to those who did so before me, to those who do it today, and to those who will do so in the future.

In a world where rules and forms of control are imposed from birth, the body becomes a battlefield; reclaiming control over it is an act of extraordinary strength and a political responsibility toward those who do not yet have that privilege. The work celebrates those who take over public squares and transform their physical presence into protest, asserting the right to exist without limits. I was inspired by the power of the Chilean performance Y la culpa no era mía, a movement that united people around the world in a collective chant of resistance.
With this poster, protest becomes image, reminding us that the future is not an abstraction, but a layering of struggles. Mis hermanas celebrates a freedom unafraid to move, imagining tomorrow as a space where the right to autonomy is finally universal, transforming the memory of history’s great battles into a horizon of definitive liberation.

Fosca Vianello is a Venetian illustrator whose practice intertwines research and visual storytelling. Raised in the lagoon city, she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, where she deepened her knowledge of printmaking techniques — from traditional to experimental — developing a strong sensitivity toward materiality and artisanal processes. She later continued her studies at ISIA Urbino, attending the MA program in Illustration and Publishing Design. Alongside her academic path, she has collaborated with newspapers, brands, start-ups, and associations, experimenting with different visual languages. Her work constantly explores the communicative power of illustration, with the aim of developing a personal visual language capable of bringing together traditional roots and contemporary experimentation in a lasting and meaningful way.
