Kylian Mbappé and Cristiano Ronaldo kissing on the soccer field. “Gays have FIFA” is the new provocative work by Andrea Villa, the street artist renamed the Turin Banksy , created in view of the start of the World Cup in Qatar.
"I wanted to pose two main problems in the world of football - explains Villa -. The first is the LGBT question and the latent homophobia in the football environment".
And again: “ I represented Mbappé and Ronaldo kissing, icons of modern football in a world where there are no openly homosexual Serie A players (very strange), and where women in sports programs are considered objects without a brain. Secondly - continues Villa - the scandals of the treatment of the LGBT community in Qatar and the limited freedom of expression also towards women. Shameful how Fifa has thrown its image to the wind in such a blatant way for the cowardly money and economic interests".
The posters in Turin are posted in corso Fiume and corso Regina Margherita .
