Abstract
In contemporary art, the body has often been the stage from which female artists have cried out against the violence and misogyny that forces them into marginality in life and art. Pippa Bacca, an Italian artist, in the performance Brides on Tour sets off with her artist friend Silvia Moro, hitchhiking through war-torn countries. She exposes herself to the judgment and merciless gaze of others in the performance-based event that is not intended to provoke, but to communicate to humanity the value of acceptance, love and peace.
