Thanks so much to the kind people at AIGA Baltimore for inviting me to be part of their series on “The Art of Oppression.” I had a great time Tuesday night with a room full of artists and designers who provided whipsmart contributions in response to my talk, “‘Keep Mum, She’s Not So Dumb’: Representing Women’s Experiences of Militarized Violence.” We covered everything from children’s toys to the politics of military uniforms to anti-venereal disease campaigns during World War II, and I feel so fortunate to have been part of the conversation.
