“Every boy is going to want to marry you,” said no aunty ever… Too often we’re told implicitly & explicitly that our value lies within marriage. Too often we feel bad for choosing ourselves over a future husband & family that aren’t even real. Most of the time, we laugh it off as well intended jokes. But ultimately, we’re terrified - terrified of the abstract that still somehow has the power to control your every day reality. This is our space to reclaim the narrative.
#NotYourDulhan explores how 3 different South Asian womxn challenge the stereotypes around the “perfect dulhan” every family wants. It will be featured TOMORROW at the #WhoseWorldIsThis Exhibit along with other dope artists including @bsinghh & @360.jpg. Here’s the last outtake featuring Josephine ✨ Come say wussup and check out the full series!
