Intersectionality

As Audre Lorde​ once wrote, "There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives." Similiarly, there is no such thing as a single-issue image. Most images can be read as depicting the intersection of multiple issues or multiple dimensions of inequality (e.g., race, class, & gender). While all images may be truly intersectional, this album surveys images, which explicitly mention intersectionality theory and intersectional analyses of the social world.

"My feminism is a question. And the question is - 'What truths are missing here?'
