Power in pink

A color that has been sold to us as passive and soft, is being reclaimed to confronts patriarchy and gendered oppression. In light of the gendered wage gap, the #metoo movement, and international violence against women, pink is utilized by activists, feminists, and those in solidarity to spark conversations and implement change. We ask the girls "What is your relationship to pink? How would you wear it? How would you photograph it?" Through the photography process girls engaged in conceptual photography, environmental portraiture and a reflective dialogue to unpack the meaning of pink. As said by featured artist Jacqueline Arellano, age 17,  "Pink is powerful because so many girls rock this color and prove to everyone that she isn't just ‘girly.’ She is more than that and shows us how much talent she has and how she can fight back." 

Presented in collaboration with Las Fotos Project (Los Angeles, CA), A VOICE (Flathead Reservation, MT) and Club Balam (Chiapas, MX).
