From me
Dàme is an independent editorial project written in two languages ( in Italian with an English translation ), which aims to convey the message that every body and every person has value and deserves respect, regardless of their size, shape, ability, disability, skin color, gender and sexual orientation.
She discusses the body from various perspectives— personal experiences , artistic and photographic projects , fashion collections —with the aim of sparking a conversation about self-acceptance . She does this through print media, through the images and authentic stories of women, as well as face-to-face events with activists and talks in schools.
The project aims to represent the complexities of the human experience starting from the body, often considered the most denigrated and stereotyped aspect of women, to promote an authentic and inclusive representation.
The uniqueness of Dàme lies in the fact that each issue focuses on a specific part of the body , which is nothing more than the starting point for exploring more general and complex topics. The first print issue, launched in 2021, focuses on the stomach , the second edition focuses on the legs , and the third edition focuses on hair .
Since the body unites each of us, regardless of age or gender, and is something extremely personal, subjective and unique, this magazine is an explicit and authentic read , accompanied by personal reflections, community experiences, informed opinions of activists, journalists and psychotherapists to guide readers to rediscover the relationship with their own body and self-awareness .
