Italian creatives map pre-election emotions in 'Il mio vo(l)to' project

digital · 2026-05-05

Illustrator Chiara Dal Maso launched 'Il mio vo(l)to', an open call inviting Italian artists and creatives to submit images expressing their feelings ahead of the March 4 political elections. The project aims to create a polyphonic, emotional collage with documentary value, similar to the British 'ME & EU' project by Nathan and Sam T. Smith after the Brexit referendum. Submissions are collected on the website ilmiovolto.it and shared on social media, with many contributions reflecting a critical, Otto Dix-like tone. The initiative focuses on emotions rather than voting intentions or demographics. The resulting collection is intended to be published as a volume.
