She then categorized thousands of these images based on the positions of subjects’ arms, legs, feet, hands and heads, along with rephotographed images from magazines, newspapers and other print sources—creating a singular taxonomy of the ways in which women and men move differently through the world. First shown in Berlin in 1977, \u003cem\u003eLet’s Take Back Our Space: “Female” and “Male” Body Language as a Result of Patriarchal Structures\u003c\/em\u003e is a revolutionary visual archive and a bracing feminist take on gender, photography and society.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eTaking Back Our Space: Photographic Perspectives\u003c\/em\u003e brings Wex’s trailblazing work into dialogue with seven leading contemporary artists who, in turn, reappraise the relationships between contemporary bodies and public spaces, from non-binary, queer, decolonial,l and intersectional feminist viewpoints: Nona Faustine, Martine Gutierrez, K8 Hardy, Yuki Kihara, Joiri Minaya, Paulina Olowska, and Wendy Red Star. Featuring a previously unpublished interview with Wex, as well as new conversations with each of the artists, this artist-centric publication explores the intersections of race and gender, and brings new resonance to the idea of “taking back our space” as both a reclamation of physical territory and the power to represent oneself. 176 pages, 100 illustrations.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MUSEUM OF MODERN ART 700003","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47630501118182,"sku":"900186-900186","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0623\/7962\/2630\/files\/1b6fc9eb-4cd0-42d6-a03b-d3909fb5174b.jpg?v=1784315555","url":"https:\/\/store.moma.org\/products\/taking-back-our-space-photographic-perspectives","provider":"MoMA Design Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
