#DreamMaking craftivism : channeling reflections on feminism, racism and some otherisms into one twee little piece.
This little piece began with the long-repeating rage, and subsequent overwhelm and inability to express anything at all. But with Dream Making from @craftivists it got amalgamated into dreams..
☁️ I dream of the time when there are less doubters and defenders of patriarchy, white supremacy, gender discrimination and the many many oppressive systems that we're unfortunately part of.
☁️ When there is less normalisation of gaslighting, of doubting someone's story, doubting a lived experience, and the consequent denial of someone's feelings and existence. This normalised what-if-ery culture.
☁️ When there can be a relief of the exhaustion it creates for those who are affected by these unacceptable behaviours. When challenging these behaviours is normalised.
☁️ When all voices are heard : not only those of women, but equally the marginalised genders who are perceived as having 'feminine qualities' and thus often receive the same treatment on top of all the prejudices they already receive.
☁️ When all voices are heard in an equitable way: not only white women, but all women. It was underlined for a reason.
I have very few binary and easy answers (because are there actually any?), but I hope there's hope if it's spoken about and dreamed of?
