Femminismo a cazzo! Satirical Magazine from Bolo Paper Reviewed by artpress

The French art magazine artpress reviews 'Femminismo a cazzo!', a satirical publication by Bolo Paper (Milan) discovered at the Polycopies fair on the Concorde Atlantique boat at Port de Solférino, Paris, from November 6 to 10, 2019. The A5 glossy magazine uses deliberately ugly imagery and typography to parody feminist discourse, with headlines like 'Un homme mort ne viole pas!' and 'Spécial Banalité!'. It reappropriates stock photos with watermarks to critique stereotypes about women's shopping habits and ideological platitudes. The review notes the ambiguity of the magazine's stance, suggesting it targets authoritarianism and ideological sterility rather than feminism itself. Bolo Paper's other titles include 'Matrimonio, parliamone', 'Bambini giustamente depressi', and 'Padre Poi', a parody of Padre Pio. The magazine also features a 16-page spread of Buffy the Vampire Slayer with a mustache, playing on the Italian pronunciation 'baffi'. The review concludes that the humor raises questions about representation and language, debunking ideological pretenses.
