As part of being on the exhibition we have to plan the images we want in the publication and have an artist statement. Doing this I took a whole weekend to do my artist statement and choose my images as if I get the artist statement wrong it could give off the completely wrong message to what the project is about.
Dirty word
Modern day feminism is much more than the stereotypical angry man hating woman, it’s about making everyone feel equal. This project set out to challenge the stereotype of what a feminist is by photographing a collection of people who have an idea of making everyone’s lives better. Women like Beyoncé are praised for their ideas of feminism so why is it that everyday people are mocked and dismissed for the same idea?
A positive idea of a feminist cannot be forced but as society moves forward and people are willing to have a conversation; feminist will no longer be seen as a dirty word.
