COURSE: Gender & Women’s Studies 449: Special Topics in Feminist Theory
MEDIUM: Graphic Essay / Digital Illustration
DESCRIPTION: This is a creative digital feminist manifesto magazine created for my Gender and Women’s Studies 449 course. This work highlights my feminist views on gender and existence within our contemporary society. This work includes art, comics, poetry, and writing, all of which were digitally produced.
ARTIST’S STATEMENT: I created this work for a Gender and Women’s Studies course. But as this work developed, it turned into something more. Not only is it a manifesto projecting my views of feminist gender theory, but it also presents them in a way that personally reflects my thoughts and feelings as I have grown throughout life. All the art and poetry included were passionately created and expose a deep understanding of gender and how it has affected my world. As an artist and student studying feminism, I find that much of my art intersects with my feelings towards every aspect of my personal life. Being able to connect my art with my coursework has opened up a new world for me as an artist.
