Description
It disappears slowly
The burden that stigma carries is slow in dissolving.
The society in which we live wishes for a perverse normality, adhering to an ever-changing standard and regurgitating with disdain shreds of nonconforming humanity.
It establishes and imposes the social stigma that conditions being in the world by revealing itself as a limit to our actions.
One of the consequences is censorship, my research ground for a year; Imposed by institutions or by oneself, censorship unites us in different contexts, transmuting and hiding behind fears and hypocrisies.
I researched stories and met people stripped of stigma and reappropriated their identity.
I wove the red thread of censorship, discovering that we all hold the pieces of it.
Mine is a narrative that does not reveal the stories and often the faces, so that everyone, leafing through it, can find their own little piece of thread to unravel it with us.
