Updated Flickr album for Final Portfolio: Smashing the Stereotype Final
The five images created show women of color making a statement on their views if cultural appropriation.
I was excited to begin this photography project because there were endless possibilities in the way I could display cultural appropriation, however the time restrictions did not allow for that creativity.
The direction I chose to go in was one that highlighted the response that many women have when it comes to the underlying attacks that come with cultural appropriation. That response is “My hair does not define me.” The focus of my photographs were to catch people that I interacted with daily and get their uncensored opinion, which will help in Project 4. I used my phone to edit these photos, but the goal was to do minimal editing.
I will be adding more to this for the final portfolio, but this is the groundwork for why I did my piece. Women are more than their hair because it is a part of their culture.
