The people that are most affected by borders and prisons are women, particularly women of color, LGBT women of color; trans women of color are the ones that bear the highest burden and pay the highest cost for borders, for prisons. And yet the people that get to speak about our bodies are the most privileged. There is an inversion occurring in the conversation where the most privileged get to talk and explain to most marginalized, but it needs to be the other way around. Lived experience in the margins teaches you what a PhD will never do. The lived experience that is learned in the margins is what we need for the whole of society. And this is really the important point: All society will benefit from those most marginalized’s perspective on society as a whole and yet women’s art is a subcategory of art and allowed only to deal with ”women’s issues”. And jails, and borders are not considered ”women’s issues”.”Queer art can only deal with queerness”. ”Trans art can only deal with transness”. And it’s the other fucking way. Instead of continuing to eroticize us and … okay, you can’t do exotic travel photography so you force minorities to perform it for you. It’s the other way around. We need minorities to speak about the majority, to talk about the center and this is what I’m trying to do with this artwork. As a woman, as a Jewish woman from a migrant background I know personally that borders are very difficult. The more marginalized, the more experiences you have, the more borders are tough, the more chances are for you to be in jail. We all know the statistics. So it’s enough to let the most privileged talk about it and in the exclusive halls of academia and media. But it’s time for those of us at street level to have our say. And this is all really inspired by the women’s art shows where women started doing depictions of naked women and vaginas and that was the women’s shows. This is the conversation I want to have. Which is, this is a feminist issue: borders and jails are a feminist issue. The People that are unseen, the bodies that are considered unsightly, the human beings that where not meant to survive are at the beating heart of what fuels this work. And there is nothing like those that experience interconnecting forms of oppression to be able to see what the majority in their privileged life will never be able to. That is why it’s important to not just look forward, but also turn around and look back and see who you’ve forgotten. This time we cant afford to leave anyone behind.
