Megaphone

Mix media on fabric, 2024

​

Megaphone, through the shape of a flag, wants to represent the silent scream of the intersections of poverty and marginality. Once again, De Rosa collected photos from various racially biased online newspapers, mostly Italian, depicting the degradation of Roma* and Sinti* living in conditions of extreme social marginalisation. Through the collage, she wanted to present the way in which Roma* are projected and deceived by mass visualisation and at the same time to depict a kind of map of how poverty links with important issues such as early marriage, eraly motherhood and school drop-out among young Roma*.
