Red 7 Salon, 210 W. Kinzie St., has shot and organized photos by Karmen Elaine that focuses on the meaning of feminism.
According to the salon, the goal of the gender-neutral/non-gender binary photo shoot is "to reveal the diverse look, experiences, and positions of feminists; [and] to break down the often one-dimensional stigma of the word.
"It is a re-imagining of the current status quo. It is a positive projection toward a future that values individuals for their humanity and their unique difference in this world."
The statement added that being a feminist means, among other things, to unapologetically refuse to be subdued; to know what one deserves and fight for it; and know that advancement and inclusion of all are the only ways to make change with real value.
The exhibit has not been yet revealed; visit red7salon.com/ and KElainePhoto.com . |
