Once again together with CHEAP Festival: our vision for “Trust Utopia”
This year too, we enthusiastically participated in the CHEAP Festivalcall for artists, the public art project that every year brings visions, messages, and reflections from the contemporary world to the walls of Bologna.
The theme of the 2025 edition, Trust Utopia, invited us to imagine new horizons of trust, hope, and possibility: a utopia not as an illusion, but as a collective space where we can still believe in the future.
We chose to interpret this theme with two posters, two different but complementary perspectives on the concept of trust and rebirth.
1. Trust Utopia
In the first poster, two little girls sit facing each other, with the universe behind them. In their hands, the world: a thread that unravels and curls, as if reality could be stitched together with small, delicate gestures.
At the bottom, the words "Trust Utopia"become an invitation to believe in the power of imagination to hold together what seems lost. It's an image of care, play, and complicity—a utopia built by four hands, fragile yet tenacious.

2. Woman, Life, Freedom
The second poster is a tribute to the strength of women. Two female figures sit on the world, united by a profound balance and a shared struggle.
One woman's dress is decorated with the keffiyeh motif, a symbol of resistance and Palestinian identity; the other wears a skirt bearing the image of the burning golden sun and the mountain, emblems of Kurdish culture and its constant quest for freedom.
Behind them, the words “Donna Vita Libertà”stand out like a universal cry and song, born from the courage of Kurdish women and becoming the voice of all women who resist.

For us,participating in CHEAP Festival means continuing to believe in the power of public art: the kind that inhabits the streets, speaks to people, and makes the beauty of a shared vision visible.
Because perhaps, to believe in utopia, we must first learn to imagine it together.
The posters are in Bologna, in Viale Masini and Via del Triumvirato Blocco 1
