Milan, street artist dyes Darsena waters pink for March 8

The waters of Milan ’s Darsena are tinged with pink: this is the new provocation by Milanese street artist Cristina Donati Meyer, one of the best-known names on the Milanese urban scene, who has also made a name for herself among the general public for her actions that comment on current affairs. Donati Meyer’s performance is entitled We Exist. Not Only on March 8, was held yesterday in the early afternoon and aimed to pay tribute to all women, feminists and those who fight every day against prevarication, violence, gender inequality and misogyny.

The dye, Donati Meyer noted, is typically used for food uses, is water-based, and is harmless. The artist decided to hold her action before March 8 in a symbolic key, to indicate that women do not exist only on March 8. “In Italy,” comments Donati Meyer, “one of us, every three days, is killed, in 81 percent of cases by her partner or husband. We women exist, not just the March. We don’t need mimosas or flowers, but works of nonviolence and equality!”
