MORE please

I have a complicated relationship with food.  I eat what I want, when I want.  I have a complicated relationship with moderation too. Food is at the very least a political one, and clearly a feminist one.  Diet culture is pervasive. Patriarchy is rampant in the food industry. Then there’s fat shaming, BMI calculations and food deserts.  This next Call wants your feminist perspective — food references not necessary.  Take a look…

the way we conceptualize our bodies
and the cultural narrative to which
we subscribe.” —Amy Feigley-Lee

Are we not to judge people on appearances?  Or are we not to judge the aspects of appearance beyond our control?  Where is the line?  Genetics may predetermine my body type, but I can modify or pierce anything I choose.   Genetics may determine the symmetry of my face, but aren’t we all just one YouTube video away from highlighted, strobed cosmetic bliss?  I have only questions about physical identity these days.  The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Amy Feigley-Lee, speaks to the projection of physical self into the world, specifically the tension between feminine norms and the reality of occupying space in this world as a woman.  I love the cohesion of her work, regardless of media.  This portfolio is a joy to navigate.

I get a lot of questions about living without gluten.  When I tell waitstaff at a restaurant, I am met with “I’m sorry” or the sad-trombone-look-of-pity almost every time.  Don’t cry for me Argentina.  GF eating IS what you make it.  It has made my family more adventurous, open and creative when it comes to food.  Feminism is the same; it IS what YOU make it–good & bad.  This next Call wants to know what YOU make of it.  Take a look…
