About LOUD: Stories to Make Your Voice Heard
Big names in Italian comics gather in a unique and powerful anthology to say they’ve had enough of gender-based violence.Ellie, Sabrina, Rose, Laura, Liz, Camilla. Their stories touch us deeply because they happen to us too—and to our sisters, friends, neighbors.
Sometimes we don’t even realize it, we minimize it, we don’t have the tools to understand, react, talk about it out loud. And that’s exactly why this book was born: to break the silence and fill it with our stories and our words, to ensure that situations like this never happen again.
Gender-based violence takes many forms, from subtle manipulation to outright physical abuse, and it knows no boundaries. Loud: Stories to Make Your Voice Heard is a powerful anthology curated by a feminist collective of Italian comics creators working in solidarity to unite, support, and empower others in the fight against toxic masculinity, both in the comics industry and beyond.
