A SLIP OF THE TONGUE

experiments in feminist speaking practices

ⓘ

How is it that we evaluate the same behavior differently depending on who is speaking? What began as a series of workshops addressing internalized misogyny in vernacular language, evolved into an investigation of the communicative space itself. The methods used within the workshops were continuously refined in response to the conversations they generated. Lastly I materialized them into cards, to help bring awareness to the hierarchy in the room, and facilitate an overall reflective discussion. The aim is to reveal the often invisible power dynamics that influence conversations and encourage a more conscious way of speaking.
