Simone Parker- Identity project

For my project I focused on my race and gender, and how it makes/doesn't make me, who I am. 

I utilized self-portraiture combined with imagery reminiscent of Aunt Jemima/Malcolm X and St. Catherine/ Lady Macbeth ( the villainess from Shakespeare's Macbeth). I use them to show how these sometimes positive and sometimes negative views of my race and sex are all valid in the sense that they've come together to influence who I am today, but also invalid in the sense that they don't completely show who I am. 

The first image is the complete poster. but I also posted some close ups, since the ratio of the document makes it appear smaller.






For an already discussed reason, I will not be participating in the critique today since I will be attending my sister's graduation.
