Proud Slut, 2015
Cotton and linen, quilted and bleach
209 x 165 cm
Met deze quilt hoop ik de term Slut te ontkrachten en de vrijheid van kleding te dragen zonder dat dat gelijk zorgt voor aanranding. Als men Nee zegt is het ook Nee.
Slut-shaming is the practice of criticizing people, especially women and girls, who are perceived to violate expectations of behavior and appearance regarding issues related to sexuality.The term is used to reclaim the word slut and empower women and girls to have agency over their own sexuality. It may also be used in reference to gay men, who may face disapproval for promiscuous sexual behaviors. Slut-shaming rarely happens to heterosexual men.
Examples of slut-shaming include being criticized or punished for: violating dress code policies by dressing in sexually provocative ways; requesting access to birth control, having premarital, extramarital, casual, or promiscuous sex; or engaging in prostitution. It can also include being victim-blamed for being raped or otherwise sexually assaulted
