Call for Participation!
Whose Lens? invites you to explore body image, sensuality, sexuality, and radical self-love in both photography and writing.
Whose Lens? seeks to explore how society’s stereotypes about what is attractive shape our self-image and self-confidence. Throughout our lives we are told - explicitly and implicitly - that we are too much or too little. Misogyny, racism, ageism, ableism, sexism, classism, Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia stamp themselves on our body and our sense of self. This project invites us to think about how these messages affect how we move through the world.
Whose Lens? challenges us to think about when we feel strong, in our bodies, and in our power. It also creates space to think about when we don’t feel these things, and think about why that is. This project acknowledges that the self is fluid, ever-changing and evolving -- shaped by life experiences like relationships, parenthood, divorce, aging, health issues, losing loved ones as well as other challenges, trauma, and setbacks -- mirroring our changing bodies and experiences. This project invites you to reflect and explore your self-image, sensuality, and sexuality, and the forces that shape it.
