Artist Statement

Rabid was born out of anger. Every day I read horrific stories; the consequences of America’s new abortion ban, the growing amount of violence against women and the rise of misogyny in the far right. All of us are angry but nobody seems to be talking about it. This project was about proving that we are not alone in our outrage. 



Before creating this magazine I was examining how graphic agitation has contributed to feminism, exploring both historical and modern contexts. Through this research I found that political messaging and design are intertwined; protest signs cannot exist without typography, propaganda cannot exist without visual communication.
 


Thus Rabid was created. It is a magazine designed to give people an accessible way to learn about feminist issues. It details current events and provides inspiration for further research. More than anything it is designed to give people hope. One way I do this is through collaboration; reinforcing the multitude of voices engaging in the fight.
 


My hope for this project is that you become better informed and understand that the pursuit of equality is perpetual. Nobody is equal until we all are.
