My Body

By Greta• November 5, 2024

Our latest instalment continues our art and illustration series, with Greta’s interpretation “My Body.”

“Exploring our body is not an easy job, sometimes it appears as an unknown territory and others as a familiar place. Maybe we will never get to know every corner of it, but with the help of ourselves and other people we can see this as an opportunity.

As a woman myself I felt that my body was not mine a lot of times, doing these drawings helped me to narrate the process (still not over) of self-discovery.”

To contribute to this series, or to propose an idea for a future series, in the form of drawing, painting, poetry, photography, or whichever form of media you practice, get in touch at toldpadova@gmail.com, we’d love to hear from you!

I like to draw and tell stories. I love stories which do not fit in the narration of the world today, because - as bell hooks says - the margins are a space of resistance and I want to represent them.
