Difficult

Difficult is a project that was inspired by an Emily Dickinson poem 'They shut me up in prose' and the way language and words are weaponised against women to silence their voice and quell dissension. The women involved in this project embody strength and are not afraid to use their voice to empower themselves and others. The long term goal of this project was to include a diverse and intersectional response to the female experience in relation to gendered language. This was limited due to the lengthy lockdowns and covid restrictions we experienced in Melbourne, Australia at the time this series was created in 2020.
