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

This reminds me of a teacher who has the complete attention and respect of her students. It appears they think of her as the "queen" because they trust in what she has to say, and they know she is a strong woman who will teach them valuable information and strategies.
Reminds me of my manager who basically takes care of all the banking,policy questions, corects any errors. She's smart, self confident and willing to listen. I don't think there's a man that could do a better job.
