FASHION AND FEMINISM: TAJA LINDLEY OF COLORED GIRLS HUSTLE“I’m interested in the ways that cultures of resistance can be integral to any form of art. Do you see elements of feminism in your art? Of queer liberation? How do you incorporate those things?”Taja Lindley: “Feminism, freedom, and liberation are not just elements of our work… it is our work. For reasons I stated above, how we treat and decorate bodies is part of our freedom and liberation.We released the Colored Girls Hustle Hard Mixtape on Juneteenth — the anniversary of the enforcement of the Emancipation Proclamation and a commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States. In the spirit of freedom and liberation, our Mixtape is amplifying the voices of women of color through music. Outside of Colored Girls Hustle, Jessica and I, Taja Lindley, independently create art with and for our communities. As a queer femme feminist Black woman, I see my visual and performance artwork as healing rituals for myself and others. Our healing, our pleasure, our creativity and our transformation are integral to any movement for liberation.”Check out the full interview hereFrom their website: “Colored Girls Hustle is (re)defining hustle and inspiring bold self-expression for women and girls.” -- source link
