Can you answer this question? Tell me, what is a woman! What definition do you hold, or were you taught? Is it fair, representative, limiting, generous, cruel? Does the definition fit all “women”? Who deserves this label and what does it mean for us when we label a person a woman? Think about all the women in your life: why do you call them women? Who is not a woman and why? What about the women that do not fit the definition? Are they women? What, WHO, are they? And what might the definitions we hold of a woman do to our interactions with women, and how does that affect their lives? What comes with the label? This piece is created alongside a painting/drawing that investigates the question and integrates people’s answers to it into the painting itself by sewing words and sentences into the paper. Be part of it by filling out the form to the right. THANK YOU! |
