The first set of images under the description of "Narrative" documents the efforts of a Feminism and Globalization class. The table that they had set up was with the purpose to inform passerby about issues worldwide that are considered important to the feminist movement. The students took activism into their own hands by creating and distributing pamphlets and flyers relevant to globalization issues of their choice. Students addressed the exploitation of laborers, funding cuts to organizations like Planned Parenthood, human trafficking, and other topics of interest. Students were also encouraged by their professor (and even me, the photographer) to pursue their audience instead of waiting by their table with hopes that someone will inquire.
The second set of images titled "Emotional" were taken at a discussion of female professors and directors a UTSA. The discussion featured their personal experiences as academics and as women and mothers in the field of academia. Each speaker had a different story to tell about their early experiences of being a professor like the hiring process, maintaining some sort of balance between work and home life, as well as tenure and other promotions. While a lot of the expressions given were very serious and stern there were moments of laughter that highlighted the event with the flip-side being an image of a faculty member explaining her frustrations. The last two images were taken at concerts by female artists that aren't necesarily self-identified feminists, but evoke an image of a powerful confident woman.
The third set of images titled "Aesthetic" does not contain aesthetic close-ups displaying textures and patterns in feminism, but of aesthetically pleasing photos of feminism. The first photo was taken at the Feminism and Globalization table showing someone reading a pamphlet on human trafficking. The remaining photos are of frontlining female musicians.
