Cristina Chiappini

I think I may have found my design idol, especially with regard to women's reproductive rights. Cristina Chiappini  is a graphic and media designer based in Rome and Traviso. She is experienced in corporate identity and web design for a myriad different avenues but what struck me most about her is her humanitarian campaigns.

The Uterus is ours and the government controls it was a slogan Cristina coined in designing a poster for the exhibitions "Stanze" (Rooms) organized from AIAP Italian Association of Communication Design. She was inspired by the 1970s feminist slogan "The uterus is mine and I do what I want with it"

Edit: It's official - I will be meeting Cristina while I'm in Italy this summer at the SVA Masters Design Workshop. SO PSYCHED!!!!
