I have always been an advocate to speaking for women’s rights, and I wanted to choose a subject which moved me to create a whole project out of it. In this world filled with women oppression, what could be my little contribution | I have always been an advocate to speaking for women’s rights, and I wanted to choose a subject which moved me to create a whole project out of it.

Theme | '''Theme''' Female slut shaming. | ||
'''Idea''' To expose“slut shamers” on TV and movies | |||
Everyday, we watch on movies and TV how the free female sexuality is called offensive names, and even put up for slut shaming those women who are owners of their sexuality. We are taught that is it okay to judge a woman by the quantity of men she has slept with, and that we are allowed to call her offensive names if the doesn’t follow the “social conduct” of women being stuck with just one man, and having sex with her husband only. | Everyday, we watch on movies and TV how the free female sexuality is called offensive names, and even put up for slut shaming those women who are owners of their sexuality.

Once I had my topic chosen, I wanted to make a video installation, using as a guide to Candice Britz, as I have been following her work for a while now. I enjoy the fact that she uses everyday multimedia products and gives them a new meaning with her own techniques of appropriation. She has been known to work with Hollywood stars and Hollywood material to express her thoughts on society and what is wrong with it. I wanted to give it a try playing around with the original footage I used. | Once I had my topic chosen, I wanted to make a video installation, using as a guide to Candice Britz, as I have been following her work for a while now.

For my project, I wanted to focus on the harm that these names do to women, and how used we are getting to be called like that. How easily it has been to have these names heard on TV and movies, and the fact that new generations are seeing this behavior like a regular thing to do. I wanted to focus on phrases and words said on TV shows that denigrate women. First, I wanted to focus on the fact that men are the ones who call women bad names, but in the middle of my investigation, after hours stuck to my Netflix account, I was hit with the savage truth that women are mostly slut shamed by other women. I wanted to show that men are the ones that still oppress and categorize women, but it was harder for me to find men using these words, and easier to find women themselves calling each other with these awful names. | For my project, I wanted to focus on the harm that these names do to women, and how used we are getting to be called like that.

After hours of research, I made a list of TV and movies material where the characters show and empower woman secure of her sexuality, in contrast to those who shamed her. After that, I decided to focus only in those dialogs that questioned female behavior and judged her for being who she is. I concluded that men are not as slut shamed as women are, then I asked myself: what would happen if I had men say the same phrases female characters say? How would they react? How would their faces be? So, I subtracted audios from popular TV shows and movies and asked some friends to say them out loud to the camera. | After hours of research, I made a list of TV and movies material where the characters show and empower woman secure of her sexuality, in contrast to those who shamed her.
