GAY BARS SAVED MY LIFE

WITH ELEONORA MEONI AND MARTA ORLANDO



Project for a costumed polysexual hoodie. 2022


GBSML is a sentence, a statement, a bunch of words, urban haiku, visual poetry embroidered in red cotton on black plain hoodies.

According to the increase of spreading of STD (sexual transmission diseases) among people of all genders and all sexual preferences, we thought to customize an item that broadly is belonging to the cis-male sphere, with an ironic yet deep sentence addressed to women and queer youth.
