B.A.D.

The B.A.D. project started its journey in America in 2013 when authors Erika Z. Figabomba and Alessandra Tisato embarked on a road trip from Nevada to the Bay Area, passing through San Diego. During this adventure, they captured over 10,000 photographs of beautiful and powerful women and non-binary individuals. These photographs not only celebrate beauty but also offer a departure from the polished, glossy images often seen in fashion and advertising. Moreover, they explore the concept of nudity in a society seemingly more inclined towards superficial entertainment, sometimes overshadowing women and non-binary individuals’ sexuality and overall body positivity.
The book is enriched with critical texts contributed by Carlotta Cossutta, a dedicated researcher in political philosophy, whose work revolves around feminism and queer theories both within and beyond academia, and Elle Stanger, a queer individual who authors content on sex education, short stories, and advice columns aimed at reducing shame and harm associated with sexuality and physical intimacy.
