Concrete Freedom: Book of Concrete Poetry Supports Women's Rights
Concrete Freedom is a project started by Dario Buzzini and Barbara Busatta from BBDB Studio. It combines workshops focused on concrete poetry with initiatives aimed at addressing violence against women. The project led to a book featuring work from twelve female artists who participated in a workshop on September 12-13, 2020. The artists include names like Caterina Birolo, Darcy Mooney, and Tal Drori. Proceeds from this publication will support Women For Freedom, which works to empower women through microloans and business initiatives in Nepal, India, and Congo. You can pre-order the book online, and a special preview is set for November 25, 2020, to align with the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
