Slike koje smo svi čekali

"100 žena, 100 tela, 100 priča" - je projekat sastavljen od "iskrenih fotografija" i još iskrenijih priča.

Možemo reći da se predstava o ženskom telu polako menja, da na naslovnim stranama nisu samo izgladnele mršavice koje se "ubijaju" od fitnesa. Tokom 2015. i 2016. bilo je nekoliko kampanja čiji cilj je bio da se žensko telo pokaže onakvo kakvo zaista jeste, da tu ima i celulita, i salca i svega ostalog.

Međutim, najnoviji projekat koji jepokrenula Ejmi Herman - fotoknjiga "100 žena, 100 tela, 100 priča", prikazuje različitost žena kroz "iskrene fotografije" na koje smo svi čekali, kako kaže autorka.

Njena namera je da fotografiše 100 žena i da na taj način obrazuje hiljade!

Ejmi kaže da želi da nauči ljude da vole sebe, ali i sve druge, bez obzira na to što možda nisu savršeni, jer niko nije.

Sve je počelo tako što je zamolila neke svoje priateljice da poziraju za nju, i one su odmah pristale, kao i mnoge druge koje su se prijavile kada je na Facebooku objavila poziv dobroviljcima koji bi da se priključe njenom projektu. Prijavilo se neočekivano veliki broj žena!

Svaka od njih želi da ispriča svoju priču, ne samo da se slika.

"Debela devojka koja bi trebalo da ide u teretanu. Mršava devojka koja bi trebalo da jede više. Žene invalidi kojima treba razmevanje. Prelepa devojka koja je uvek srećna... to su sve naše programirane predstave o drugima. To je ono što društvo danas smatra normalnim", kaže Ejmi.

"Međutim, šta ako je došlo vreme da čujemo prave priče? Šta ako čujete da debela devojka zapravo ide četiri puta nedeljno u teretanu i na putu je da postane lični trener? Ili da mršava devojka ima rak u poslednjoj fazi? Ili da ona prelepa devojka pati od depresije, a da je žena sa invaliditetom, zapravo, savršeno sposobna?", pita nas Ejmi.

"Videli biste i čuli istinu. Koliko je to lepo?"

Pogledajte neke fotografije koje će se naći u knjizi:

••UNAPOLOGETIC•• "I've had a storm in my mind over the last few days. Conflicting emotions; some good, some not. I thought hard about whether I wanted to actually post this full image from the @underneath_we_are_women campaign. I'm smiling in this photo - I think it's a wonderful portrayal of my personality and general attitude. I was smiling, but I was also terrified as this was being shot. As much confidence as I may exude and portray to the world in my everyday life, the reality is I've harboured quite strong feelings of resentment toward my own body for a lot of my life. Feelings, I think, which are a reflection of society's deeply internalised attitude towards the disabled body; that it is unattractive, undesirable, shameful, broken and that it should be changed, fixed or covered up. When I note that it's not in fact my stomach or my arms or my hips that I find it difficult to look at, or that I'm wearing almost nothing, some people may be surprised. It's my legs and feet. They're swollen as a result of lipoedema and look different because of my disability. I've been very good at hiding them from the world for years. Facing the pressures placed upon women to conform to idealised standards of beauty has been somewhat easier for me than it has been for me to live in this world as a woman with a physical disability. This is why I have decided to post this picture. It needs to be seen. I wish, as a little girl, I had seen something like this. A disabled role model telling me that I was allowed to love myself, that I didn't have to hide, be ashamed of or apologise for my body. That I existed. I had to figure this out (for the most part) on my own, and at times it was incredibly lonely, traumatising and isolating. This shoot was incredibly liberating and has taken me a step further toward my self acceptance and ability to live unapologetically in this body and in this life. ✨ Thankyou @lookunderthekilt for pushing me to do this.

Limited Edition books are now available for order through the #kickstartercampaign (LINK IN BIO). Wow, what an incredible start to this campaign with almost $2,000 raised in the first 24hrs!! Let's keep this going. We still need to teach that $30k mark. I know it seems like a lot, but if all of you amazing people donated just $5 we would well and truly reach that number in no time at all. Please help me make this project a reality and get this message out to as many people as possible! We can do this #acceptance #help #womenunite #womenworkingtogether #bodypositive #bodiposi #love #underneathwearewomen #ynderneathIAM
