Stereotyping & Representation
Images are powerful. How media depict male, female, race, ethnicity, class, age, occupation — even size — influences how we see ourselves and others. Are the images we see what we aspire to be? Or how can we change this picture?"Through the production and consumption of images, we are created, exhausted and remade."
— Sut Jhally
