Women V. The World

Abstract

My partner Sophia Averza and I created an art exhibition, published on the social media platform, Instagram. We curated 6 “main posts” of digital design edits made from collaging/editing our own images and ones from the internet. Each collage is based on one of the 6 main adversities. We also created 11 Instagram "story" graphics including empowering quotes, resources, and statistics. The project explores 6 main adversities women in the U.S. experience for the “main posts” and as the topics for the "stories" including sexual assault, period stigma, the right to choose in  Roe v. Wade, gender stereotypes, representation for women in power, and body censorship. In preparation for creating our pieces, we took a qualitative approach by studying archival research on women's issues.
