Dangers To Womxn And Femmes Online
Womxn: An alternative term for the English language word Women to explicitly include non-cisgender women.
For my AG386 Independent Practice, I wanted to investigate and visually explore the problems womxn and gender non-conforming femmes face online, a platform that many would believe is safe for womxn when the real world still is not. Taking this digital topic and highlighting issues that may be unheard of/deserve more awareness, I wanted each smaller project to be represented in different analogue forms. This includes printmaking, greetings cards, typewriter experimentation, spray-painting and bookmaking. My aim was to show all audiences, whatever gender identity, that these issues exist and that hopefully exploring these smaller topics (Unsolicited Messaging, Incel Culture and Revenge Porn) it would help educate others further.
