The edginess of the blanket of black zip ties juxtaposed with white leather lounge chair illustrates the discomforting feeling on living with microagressions. The blanket acts as armor.

Women of color face similar types and frequencies of microaggressions as they did two years ago – and they remain far more likely than white women to face disrespectful and “othering” behavior.” - Theda Sandiford @misstheda

Theda is part of the latest SDA online premium member exhibition, “(EM)power (EM)brace (EM)body,” curated and juried by Katayoun Bahrami
