SELFNESS /
How can design focus on one's own identity, without neglecting what is external or different?
For example, the awareness of biases, discriminations and privileges, the capability to learn from everyone and everywhere, or the recognition of the complexity of the intersection of the different aspects of a person's social and political identities?

We Say Stop: Between Violence and Discrimination is a path that focused on the social responsibility of communication designers through the creation of campaigns aimed at informing and raising community’s awareness on gender-based violence and the forms of discrimination connected to it, implicitly developing the reflection on the relationship between selfness and otherness.
Each editorial artifact explores and delves into one of the many forms of gender-based violence: psychological abuse, stalking, cyberstalking, sexting coercion, revenge porn, sexual violence, till more recent and lesser-known phenomena such as sexually themed deepfake, providing an in-depth overview of the phenomenon, through definitions, data, useful elements to recognize it, and available support channels.
