There is a continual challenge to include all identities in In the same way there is a challenge for our understanding of feminism to capture all identities, as feminism in my view is a localized experience. The fight for &#8220;equality&#8221; for women is not only racially or socioeconomically specific; but it is also grounded in one&#8217;s own experience through culture, ethnicity and personal encounter with their identity as a woman or as other. However, our readings highlight an important effort in the theory of feminism and how it is important to consider the <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">intersectional<\/span> influences and effects. W<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ithout an intersectional lens movements cannot fully fight oppression.\u00a0Racism for women of color cannot be separated from their gendered oppression.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>From an artistic lens, I think that Shange captures this challenge of intersectionality. Her work, and the works of many racially diverse feminist artist draw parallels of the plight of black women and people of color; yet they are able to capture the distinct and unique experience of black women and women of color. One modern artist that I appreciate is\u00a0Mickalene Thomas. Her art is a process of revisiting and recreating art centered and focused on black women.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/bcrw.barnard.edu\/digitalshange\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.54.14-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1924 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/bcrw.barnard.edu\/digitalshange\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.54.14-PM-300x115.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"598\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bcrw.barnard.edu\/digitalshange\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.54.14-PM-300x115.png 300w, https:\/\/bcrw.barnard.edu\/digitalshange\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.54.14-PM-768x294.png 768w, https:\/\/bcrw.barnard.edu\/digitalshange\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.54.14-PM-1024x392.png 1024w, https:\/\/bcrw.barnard.edu\/digitalshange\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Screen-Shot-2018-10-18-at-12.54.14-PM.png 1122w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Like in our discussion two weeks ago on &#8220;dismantling the patriarchy&#8221; it is not possible without the influences of masculinity and how the dominant cultural forces of patriarchy.
