My monochromatic, childhood self-portraits reference some of the challenges I faced from western, hetero-centric patriarchy and my paper discusses how my identity as "Other" compelled me to discover, then determine, my place in society as well as in art history.born digitalmasters thesesengCopyright and other restrictions may apply.
