Inquiry Collage

• I want to explore intersectionality with feminism and how the patriarchy still exists in our world today.

• Intersectionality is an analytical framework for understanding how aspects of a person's social and political identities combine to create different modes of discrimination and privilege

• I would love to make some digital photos showing the struggles of women especially of different races, sexualities, classes, and nationalities. I have seen too many people claim that sexism is non-existent, and that racism is non-existent in this day and age. To explore that and prove that it does indeed still exist, and make it very hard for women even today would be a satisfying inquiry.

• I used photoshop because I am a graphic design major, and I have a lot of skill in the adobe programs. I want to explore taking real photos and ones that I create myself to make something new. Something along the lines of posters that show the struggles of women, the sexism and racism they endure daily, and maybe even replacing men's lives with women to show how strange it would be if their roles were reversed. By reversing roles I think it could shed light on how we grow up with the patriarchy, and are so used to its effects that it has become the default. Everything is based off of this “default” of male hierarchy and thus throws us into this spiral of misogyny.
