феминизм
I chose the topic of feminism based on the fact that Russia is incredibly undocumented in the west, and I wanted to delve into the ‘unknown’ and also help bring awareness to topics surrounding Russia. Feminism, at first wasn’t an obvious choice, as I didn’t expect many people in Russia to understand the term, nor follow it. However, after finding multiple festivals and people who spoke openly about the idea, I set off on my task to document the experiences, lifestyles and stories of multiple people surrounding the term ’feminist’. I messaged many people, interviewing and photographing many of them. This started to give me a bigger understanding of how different Russia is compared to that of the U.K. So I embarked on my journey; layers of tights and leggings, 50 pairs of socks, boots, hats, gloves and countless camera batteries, and I travelled to Russia.
