Relationship between
the body and sexuality
Our body is our spaceship in this world. With our senses we perceive and transmit. Is the border between the external world and our internal one. They are entwine. If female history has been plague of taboos, conditioning, norms, rejection, wouldn't be possible that it is necessary to restore that communication?
Woman Identity
and
white feminism
White feminism could be the pioneer in terms of the genesis of feminist art. White heterosexual women were the first ones raising their voices. However, we believe every feminism talks about what happen to us as women. Therefore there is not reason to cataloge it.
Stereotypes
Perhaps one of the most relevant topic to be address. Since always women have been told how to look, dress, behave, how much to weight, skin colour and so on. These artist approached these issues. Sometimes with vulnerability but for sure with a feeling of discontent.
Black Feminism
Roxanne Gay is one of my favourite writers. She helped me see through her books the contradictions in our culture when we address matters about the black community. Even with simple examples as the film Django from Quentin Tarantino or the book The Help. These artist do not create a cartoon about these problematics. Their intention is pure and far from a capitalistic profit.
Sexual Abuse
It is quite hard to approach this topic. In many ways every woman has been always expose to suffer the sexual abuse. Regardless of the situation all of them are incredibly painful. These artist have been brave enough to put in art what can harm us the most.
Death and Women
In french " Le petit mort" refers to the orgasm and the translation it means " The small death"
​
Does death, the supreme equalitarian moment of our humanity has a difference in gender too? Perhaps no, but these work try to explore the relation of death and women.
