INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Highly awarded for her vast humanitarian impact with over 500 global exhibitions, Ferrato is known for documenting the truth of domestic violence over the past 50 years. Holy is her call to action to celebrate the powerful complexity of all who identify as female. Combined for the first time are her intimate and unflinching images of survivors, swingers and activists. Three chapters are framed by her recreated Holy Trinity; Mother, Daughter and Other, for all those who honor and protect women.
In this book group, Donna Ferrato discusses, among other things
Taking time to build narrative (she took 10 years before publishing her legislature-changing images)
Knowing and protecting your image rights
While an image can influence, collective action is what leads to change
Be loud about the images you take - aim point blank at your intention/point
Iterate ideas and refine output till power is embedded in the work
The need for men to “heal thy penis”
Find the right publisher and advocate for your work
Provoke, be combative and have a good time
Love has nothing to do with violence
