Post No Bills - the exhibition

I believe that eco-feminism is a transformativephilosophy that embraces the amelioration of all lifeon Earth. I believe that all oppressions areinterconnected: no one creature will be free until allare free-from abuse, degradation, exploitation,pollution and commercialisations. Women and animalshave shared these oppressions historically and untilthe mentality of domination is ended in all its forms,these afflictions will continue.

One way in which society normalises interconnectedoppressions is in creating mythologies and embeddingthem into the minds of children. We give children toys that depict animals in happysituations then leave out the truth about their reallives.This normalises the dominion of animals and becomespart of the dualist mythology that permeates allcultures on Earth.

“Either we participate in their oppressions or wechallenge it”…“to be silent is to be complicit.”(Isacc Bashevis Singer)
