Student Narrative

I handmade this book in response to the prompt "defending against violence" when learning about how violent climate change can be, especially when intertwined with other social issues such as gender inequality. I feel like the connection between climate change and gender inequality isn't talked about nearly enough, because "although climate change affects the whole world, its impact is not equal." By using this intensive method of hand stitching, sewing, beading, and felting, I wanted to mirror the attention I feel we should be giving to such issues.
