Summative Statement

In a world in which feminism exists, often pandering to the cis-white female, this artist’s hardback book and exhibition hopes to break through the pre-existing boundaries into something far more diverse. Including interviews discussing the realities of six women, this piece aims to open up a discussion around the inclusivity of today’s feminism, the difference in realities each woman face, and how we choose to communicate as a collective.

The hardcover book includes; six interviews/ discussions with women, a belly band title, yellow card insert explaining the context and aims of the publication, and a yellow bookmark promoting the variety of women this publication includes and supports.

Proposal of an exhibition around the book would include; copies of the book both for viewing and for sale within the gallery shop, A3 posters with imagery and quotes both from the book itself and additional quotes from the interviews (not featured in the book) for both exhibition and sale, as well as additional promotional and advertising documents such as street/ London Underground posters, bus advertisements, etc.


Overall this project hopes to be a celebration of the variety of women within today’s society. Informed through a body of literature research into female zine culture, Fourth Wave Intersectional Feminism, and women's relationships with the internet, this project hopes to inspire further acceptance of inclusivity through the active participation of Intersectional Feminism.
