THUG/LIFE Cards
This series was a response to the media coverage of the Michael Brown shooting, other shootings like it, and the subsequent protests across the country. The cards re-appropriate the term "thug" (originally a hindi term for "bandit") from white supremacist rhetoric as a strategy to assert resistance and dignity. I plan to continue with this series, which focuses on the political and social resistance of women of color within the context of global racism and patriarchy.
