dc.description.abstractItaly, December 2022. Parliament converts into law the so-called “anti-rave decree,” approved by the Meloni government months earlier. This measure not only reflects an increase in right-wing trends in Europe and around the world, but also demonstrates growing repression of political dissent in Italy. In this context, free parties serve as spaces of resistance and escapism. Beginning with a chronological overview of the events surrounding the decree, this thesis offers an in-depth analysis of its legal and socio-political implications. It includes a glossary of key terms to help a clearer understanding of the context and briefly examines the Security Law as development emerging from the anti-rave decree. Through contemporary case studies and various interviews conducted by the author, the research investigates the political significance of free party culture. It further examines the role of visual communication as a means of resistance and highlights the importance of self-organizing practices within grassroots collectives in Italy. The thesis concludes with a description of the author’s final project (consisting of a digital zine and a printed flyer), which is a practical extensions of the theoretical research and exemplifies how design can support collective forms of resistance.
