Images about images about Women
This research project focuses on the challenge of exploring in order to understand how images have historically contributed to the construction of hegemonic gender archetypes, with particular attention to representations of women. A single image is not a passive reflection of reality, but rather an active device that participates in the production of subjectivities, roles, imaginaries, and possible bodies.
From this perspective, the author proposes a process of critical exploration aimed at understanding how graphic design and visual communication influence the construction, reinforcement, and potential transformation of these imaginaries. This work examines how certain visual discourses have crystallized a singular mode of gender representation, thereby limiting the possible ways of appearing and being. We also analyze how design can enable symbolic spaces where other ways of appearing, imagining, and narrating can emerge.
