“The Centro interdisciplinare di ricerca sul paesaggio contemporaneo has launched an appeal to artists and visual designers of international renown intent upon gathering their viewpoints on a phenomenon currently plain for all to see: the migration of men and women fleeing war, misery, overwhelming strife… The result is the great poster collective exhibition Freedom Manifesto / Humanity on the move whose objective is to raise awareness about, and urge, new perceptions concerning a topical theme of great importance: immigration…” The exhibition is now up at Centrale Montemartini, in Rome. I designed this poster, where the symbol of migration, the foot, faces its alternative meaning of freedom, and shows the pain of a mother and her children. Nobody knows if they are leaving home or waiting for someone coming back home, but it is not important. The sadness for something missing is the same.
