Walking in the streets
The spectators
In the biennale garden
We arrived before everyone else and iris had the chance to share with us her ideas of divinity. We spoke together, all of us, of how in the renaissance period venus represents the woman as a global model even still today. Representing a white, blonde haired, woman. There is no inclusion of black, asian, or other women from different cultural backgrounds shapes and sizes. We spoke about how society gives women only two choices of what to be: innocent and untouched, or temptress and impure. This is where finding divinity in women comes into play, it transcends these two roles and allows the woman to enter a global space--whatever form she may take. It is a spirit and a shift in consciousness that is offered to all of us on the planet today. A necessary shift for the world to become more balanced. Iris spoke about how today in the fashion industry, advertising industry, and film industry, women are often portrayed as sex objects or masculine. In the work place women often have to compete against each other for what little space they have inside the corporate structure, because there are so few of them present. How can women balance by themselves the roles of mother, lover, sister, career, and their own creativity?
