#censored — The female body on social media

How has the censorship of the female body on Instagram contributed to creative disobedience in digital space?

Through social media, feminism has found new ways to network people, break taboos, focus more on inclusion, celebrate individuality and use it to create diversity. #censored focuses on the visual discourse around the female body on Instagram, which has become a physical battle zone, used as a sign of protest by women and activists to bypass or subvert Instagram's corporate censorship processes.

#censored is a work that captures imagery, makes the signs of protest and the female gaze visible, summarizes women's negotiation around images of the body, and their censorship on Instagram, and transforms them into an uncensored offline publication.
