Violència
Sant Joan de Déu / Falla Arrancapins / 2022
edition / direction / design / printing
50 copies
Beggar, homeless, vagabond, transient. Common words in our conversations and in the media that reproduce and perpetuate stereotypes. They build an imaginary that blames homeless people for their situation and diverts attention to the phenomenon, as a social and multi-causal problem. Sometimes homelessness can be the product of bad decisions, a lack of support network or mental health pathologies. Others, in many cases, is a clear example of a system that favors inequality and does not guarantee access to the most basic services for the most vulnerable people.
The portrait of a person who is homeless often corresponds to a collective imagination created from stigmas and prejudices. Does it reflect a reality or does it simply perpetuate the exclusion of those who are most vulnerable? What responsibility do we have as a society to build together a world in which they are not invisible?.
_____________
The editorial project has been divided into two phases. Firstly, the design of a folding fanzine to present the project. And secondly, the edition and design of a llibret that collected, on the one hand, a series of reflections and collaborations around the project (Violència) and, on the other, the memory of the falla and its process (València). From this play on words, the publication is ordered according to two reading directions that are found on a poster right in the center of the book. This poster is the sketch of the proposal and can be extracted. For the design, the typography developed by the artist Reyes Pe and the contrast between free/ordered and soft/hard elements as well as between pink/white and black colors have been used.
