The #MeToo feminist movement, which spread virally at the end of 2017 on social media, brought back the role of women in modern society at the center of international debates, giving visibility to a vast number of instances of harassment and sexual violence. Wasted Rita has been interested in women’s rights for years, creating slogans and drawings that she shares on the web. If there is something in our cultural heritage that Wasted Rita prefers not to transmit to future generations, it’s this unjustified imbalance that exists between men and women. The funeral of the Patriarchy is a funeral monument that celebrates the end of the domination of men over women. A wreath of flowers, burning candles and leaflets announcing the premature death of the macho power, together with the faces of powerful men and slogans that praise the end of patriarchy. They represent a hymn to the birth of a modern feminism that will be able to embody the claims of the #MeToo movement.

  • Bio: Wasted Rita nasce a Porto, PT, nel 1988. Vive a Lisbona dove lavora come graphic designer e illustratrice. Il suo stile è essenziale, sarcastico e incisivo: l’artista realizza brevi frasi con inchiostro nero su supporti di carta di diversi formati. In poche righe ironizza sui più svariati temi tra cui l’intimità, la sessualità e la cultura pop. Il sarcasmo e la lucida ironia pervadono ogni suo breve racconto. I suoi lavori sono stati presentati in innumerevoli siti web d’arte e di graphic design, in molte riviste, alcuni libri e vengono esposti in tutto il mondo. Nel 2015 prende parte al progetto ideato e diretto da Banksy Dismaland. È ideatrice e responsabile del blog “Rita Bored”.
