The most important Tuscan festival dedicated to Queer culture continues its collaboration with IED Firenze.

Release Yourself is the brand new visual identity for the Florence Queer Festival, scheduled from October 18th to 22nd in Florence. 

"The film ribbon, a ribbon that unites, yet also a ribbon that flows, releasing and liberating our stories, experiences, and identities—a continuous and unceasing flow that renews itself endlessly, without interruption or boundaries."

The ribbon stands as the central theme of the festival's new image, produced by Chiara Messina and Daniela Bordin, students of Grafica per la Comunicazione course.

The event's art direction selected this project for its simplicity, effectiveness, immediacy, and the numerous meaningful aspects conveyed by the concept.
