These postcards were created by women survivors of gender-based violence/hatred and others who are concerned with women’s oppression. The postcards are visual representations of lived experiences and serve to more accurately depict the empowering and disempowering experiences of women. By displaying women’s personal stories in public space, I intend to politicize women’s personal and raise awareness of women's issues in an attempt to stop acts of gender-based violence/hatred.

Week 2
Visual response to the prompt: "A time when you felt negatively stereotyped or discriminated against because of your gender"
I think this is still a very prevelent problem in more rural areas and with older adults who grew up being taught to live by such stereotypes
