These pieces are a response to a call for submissions on how one practices and negotiates self care as a feminist in a culture where ‘self care’ is often marketed as a gendered and consumerist endeavor. I included artwork of kick ass female characters from some of my favourite TV shows to binge watch, and a motto from an arts collective and friend group I am part of.
Strong Female Lead- The Killing, Homeland and The Fall are all shows that I have become completely addicted to and watched way too much of in one sitting.
Fuck The Fuckers- this motto is all about knowing you’re right and not putting up with disrespect or poor treatment. It’s also about not worrying about being perceived as nice.
Love it! – my inner motto (cuz I’m still too “nice” to say it out loud) is “nice gets you shit”
