2. The project
The artifact describes a portion of the Italian 2018 post-election period. These months were characterized by public misinformation and tension between political leaders and mainstream news media - in one word, post-truth. Through a mix of diagrams, pieces of visual journalism and balloons, the project shows the many capabilities of comics, a medium able to depict the many aspects of today complex society and communication.
