the street is our gallery

Italian street artist Bifido recently visited the city Albania for the Tirana Mural Fest and created a little masterpiece touching on the topic of female oppression.

By the words of the artist:

This work should have been called “selfportrait”, as it express how I’m feeling in this moment in the sight of the world. Working, talking, scoping , breathing Tirana atmosphere, I really realized, for the very first time, how it feels to be a woman caught in the grips of this male chauvinist society, to be a woman physically and mentally oppressed by men. As the work progressed, the sense of it changed revealing, maybe, the real reason that.

I come back home, to Italy, more aware of something that makes me feel heartbroken, hoping one day something will change.”

Great piece Bifido!
