Ael - Tutt’ egual song ’e criature 2015

On the eastern edge of the Ponticelli neighbourhood, stands Parco Merola, a residential complex created after the 1980 earthquake, consisting of four rectangular housing blocks, Inside the Park, now known as the Murales Park, a programme of artistic redevelopment and social regeneration began in 2015 on the initiative and by INWARD-Osservatorio sulla Creatività Urbana. Jorit's work was created as part of the national campaign "No a Tutti i Razzismi" promoted by UNAR - Ufficio Nazionale Antidiscriminazioni Razziali to celebrate the "International Day of Roma, Sinti and Caminanti", which falls on 8 April. Nicknamed La Zingarrella by the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, Ael is a Neapolitan girl with a shy but smiling expression. Ael also bears the marks of Jorit's tribe and fights the fight of all migrants, becoming a manifesto of welcome and integration. At the base of his face the artist has painted a stack of books, an indication of the need to develop an awareness of the relationship between the future and education. The artist declares, in fact, that his intention "was to underline how much the Roma ethnic group must integrate with the Neapolitan residents also through school and educational processes. That graffiti has a value for children's rights. ”
