About Artwork

This painting talks about how a person's social and political identities combine to create different methods of discrimination and privilege. After the death of Sarah Everard, a lot of women shared a mutual vulnerability as we addressed violence and assault against us.  I’ve always hesitated to speak about it as I did not want to make this a “race thing”. I felt that feminism mainly supported equality for the white, middle class, straight women and did not consider the struggles of black LGBTQ women). Intersectionality is something that can be discussed extensively in the field of psychology but understanding the struggles of minorities vs majorities will always be a working progress.
