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 3
Visual response to the prompt: "A time when you defied a negative gender-based stereotype"
I like that there are 3 woman in this postcard. There is something to be said for "power in numbers."
ReplyDeleteThis postcard raises the stereotypical belief that men are smarter than women. I love the confident message that the postcard sends.
