Street art is a great medium to spread awareness. It can reach lots of people by being placed in the right place and at the right time.

The 19th of October was known to be the International Day to Combat Breast Cancer, and now, on the upcoming 23rd of November, there will be a commemoration of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. These two important dates and issues deserve all the attention possible.

With that in mind, Italian artist Alexsandro Palombo, a fan of pop culture who usually plays with modern icons and makes awareness series, used Simpsons characters and Disney princesses to pose in his street art as victims of violence or cancer to address those painful topics.
