This workshop was inspired heavily by the Dada movement; through research it became clear that the international art movement was largely based on collage and over time it formed the basis of surrealism after the war. The movement was politically driven due to the impact of the war.

My collage was inspired by the political element of the dada movement, in my illustration I wanted to highlight the historical prejudice against women, regarding the role they play in society. I wanted to emphaise the misogyny and the bias views that have been inflected on women through time.

The imagery that I used for the collage was of a woman from the 1950’s with a kitchen pot, who would have once played the stereotypical role of a women (a housekeeper) I then contrasted that image with an image of a nude woman, with a strong and bold pose, with a middle finger.

I collated all of these images together to acknowledge the historically prejudice role of the woman and to make it clear that myself as a woman will not accept this bias. Ultimately I wanted to tell society and their views to fuck off because I don’t care for them.
