Disobedient bodies
Dabiri, Emma2023
Book
What part of your beautiful self were you taught to hate? Body hair. 'Fat' thighs. Something's always 'too big' or 'too small'. We spend a lot of time hiding our 'defects', according to society's ideals of beauty. Ideals that are often tyrannical, commercially entangled, homogenizing and imposed upon us by oppressive systems that are further strengthened by our conditioned self loathing. This book will explore how to unpack, process, rebel and subvert - offering alternative ways of seeing and doing beauty, drawing on other cultures, worldviews, times, places, and looking beyond the capitalist model - to find the inherent joy in our disobedient bodies.
