Media In Our Image

About

The social media campaign, Media in Our Image, explores how we portray ourselves in social networks, which women dominate all around the world. What began in the pages of Women's Studies Quarterly will evolve and grow here on Tumblr and Pinterest, where we can harness the power of social media to redefine ourselves in our own terms. Please join the conversation and share your inventions with us.

South African artist Gabrielle LeRoux combines the convention of portrait painting with visual data descriptors beautifully in her series of 10 “Proudly African and Transgender” portraits.  Each piece allows a different story of identity to be told through art and words.

Famed Brazilian Supermodel Lea T has often posed under veils and she has used the power of the veil to both reveal and obscure. In the beginning of her modeling career, she kept her transgender identity a secret. Now that she is out in the open, the veils reveal a lot about her, while also maintaining the desired level of mystery.
