Elly Schlein and Giorgia Meloni naked and pregnant: a mural on motherhood in Milan

Elly Schlein and Giorgia Meloni naked and pregnant in a mural by artist AleXsandro Palombo, titled Power is Female. The poster, already published last week and removed in less than 24 hours, transforms the PD secretary and the council president into Pop Art icons, who together appear complicit as they smile and with a hand gesture invite silence. The theme is that of motherhood: onMeloni’s womb the words “Not For Rent” (“Not for rent”) and on Schlein’s “My Uterus My Choice” (“My womb, my choice”), tricolor flame and rainbow flag tattooed on her arms.

Meloni and Schlein’s mural, in Palombo’s intentions, is meant to flesh out critical reflections and debates on the subject, particularly on topics such as narratives of motherhood in the modern era and women’s power, the right to self-determination and the miracle of life. Palombo’s work is also intended to be a tool to encourage public debate and exchange of views, to engage and generate an opportunity for encounters.

AleXsandro Palombo, contemporary artist and activist, Milanese by adoption is world famous for his Hyper Pop, satirical, thoughtful and irreverent works that focus on pop culture, society, inequality, inclusion and diversity, ethics and human rights. Since the 1990s, Palombo’s art and visionary creativity has always proved to be precursor by provoking important debates and reflections in a process of raising awareness through artwork-mediated denunciation. His sign is a call to action, the artist continues on his personal path of research and experimentation that for more than 25 years has characterized him for his works with a strong social impact, which tend to unhinge stereotypes and promote important issues related to multiculturalism, ethics, human rights, inclusion, aesthetics and diversity.
