Sur un fond uni mauve foncé, la superposition répétée et ondulée du titre « Atelier wiki » « x » « arts actuels » écrit en rouge occupe la partie supérieure centre du montage graphique. La partie inférieure de l’image est occupée par une masse organique aux tons de rouge et de rose, et autour de laquelle s’imbriquent sur ses creux cinq individus travaillant sur des ordinateurs portables. Grossièrement découpés de photos en noir et blanc, le montage graphique de ces mêmes individus donne un effet de collage.

En avant-plan, nous voyons une illustration d’une tranche de melon d’eau, placée devant le melon au complet. La chair du fruit est colorée d’un rouge vif et sa peau est verte, avec des rayures ondulées noires. Les graines du fruit sont aussi noires et leur forme ressemble presque à des larmes. Au centre de l’image se trouvent les mots “Solidarité à travers les luttes/Solidarity across struggles”.
