FAT MARGINS
a meditation / a provocation
FAT MARGINS is a meditation on marginalized bodies and the beauty industry. It questions the impossible idea of putting bodies into standardized boxes. It is a provocation by mere existence.
Marginalized bodies are accused of being ‘too much’, of claiming too much space, of provoking, just by existing in the same spaces as others.
FAT MARGINS is a dead-serious play on words. Fat bodies are filling up the margins with their shapes. They are painting outside the lines. And the beauty industry has fat profit margins thanks to the demonizing of fat bodies. Instilling smaller bodies with fear, and bigger bodies with self-hatred.
