[Switzerland] [8, Jan] – Acclaimed artist and activist Enrico Muratore Aprosio, known professionally as EMA launches a powerful call to global consciousness with his latest art book, Promemoria (Sending Out an SOS).
This evocative collection, spanning works from 2020 to 2024, combines vivid art with a deeply impactful narrative to raise awareness of the world’s pressing existential threats—from nuclear catastrophe and climate crisis to the profound effects of war.
In a foreword by Melissa Parke, Executive Director of ICAN (International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons), the book is hailed as “a critical reminder to humanity” of the dangers our current trajectory holds. With over 12,100 nuclear weapons threatening our existence, the climate crisis worsening, and geopolitical tensions reaching new heights, EMA’s work is both a meditation on the consequences of inaction and an urgent rallying cry for change.
EMA’s pieces are haunting and hopeful, inspired by his experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic and his reverence for peace-driven art, such as Picasso’s Guernica. Blending influences from George Orwell’s Animal Farm and the poignant anti-war verses of Gianni Rodari, the collection immerses viewers in EMA’s bright neon animals, metaphysical figures, and symbolic motifs, each embodying a call to dismantle nuclear weapons, embrace diplomacy, and end cycles of war.
EMA’s visionary artwork explores themes of resilience and interconnectedness, reminding viewers of what we stand to lose. His vivid imagery resonates as a pedagogical tool for children and adults grappling with a world in turmoil.
Through Promemoria, EMA reinforces his message: every individual has a role in challenging and reshaping the course of our shared future. This visual journey imparts a warning and a path forward—a vision for a world defined by peace and sustainable coexistence.
