 As an artist and as a person, one of the ideas that inspire my creativity and soul the most is the idea of being European. Beyond the structure of the European Union nowadays, what I’m extremely connected to can be synthesized by the motto of EU: United in diversities (Adopted in 2000 and inspired by Ernesto Teodoro Moneta 1833-1918) . And especially now, where in the UK, this idea I am so closed to, is under threat,, as an answer to an academic brief called “Locating Practice” I merged my passions for graphic design, typography, music and politics. Starting a project that give a design shape to my way of European activism called ILOVEEULIKEALOVESONG. You can get an idea of it here: http://imsointoeu.tumblr.com

You can get an idea of it here: http://imsointoeu.tumblr.com This is why on Saturday 20th October I joined the march of protest against Brexit that saw around 1 million people protesting against the choice of UK to leave the EU. I’ve been to similar marches before, but this time I took courage and I printed some stickers that I shared with other protestants, some of them started to attach the stickers a bit everywhere, and once again I felt the interest expressed by people to my project.  It was there that I thought that maybe it would be worth to invest more energy into it. Since, the start, it has always been implemented with new design, references and a small exhibition , but the concreteness of the theme that it touches, allow me to see multiple ways the project can be implemented to. Especially considering animation, video and merchandising/ clothing design, a thoughtful website.  With the hope that this sense of being European, will be able to take space into my DPS year, I deeply appreciate any form of constructive criticism and new input within ILOVEEULIKEALOVESONG and of course any other idea of collaboration is welcome too.
