This Artist Created An Awareness Series By Portraying Cartoon Characters As Victims Of Violence Or Breast Cancer

Street art is a great medium to spread awareness. It can reach lots of people by being placed in the right place and at the right time.

The 19th of October was known to be the International Day to Combat Breast Cancer, and now, on the upcoming 23rd of November, there will be a commemoration of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. These two important dates and issues deserve all the attention possible.

With that in mind, Italian artist Alexsandro Palombo, a fan of pop culture who usually plays with modern icons and makes awareness series, used Simpsons characters and Disney princesses to pose in his street art as victims of violence or cancer to address those painful topics.

For an awareness campaign, Italian artist Alexsandro Palombo portrayed Disney princesses and other female characters as the victims of violence

Alexsandro has painted "We Can Help You" murals with the message behind: "She reported her torturer, and she lived happily ever after..."

Alexsandro also made a campaign referring to breast cancer by doing a series of Disney Princesses called "Survivor"

These visuals are meant to remind us that breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women in 140 of 184 countries worldwide

If breast cancer is diagnosed early, it increases the chances of successful treatment

So, we invite you to participate in spreading the awareness and taking care of your beloved women
