Fat Femme Artist Picks Apart Your Preconceived Notions Of Beauty

“Day after day we’re fed image after image of a certain body aesthetic: tanned, toned, waxed, oiled and perhaps a little digitally retouched. Today let’s do things a little bit differently.

We want to honor beautiful bodies that break the conventions we encounter in magazines, on television, on billboards and just about everywhere else. The radical and magnificent dance theatre performance Nothing to Lose deconstructs the oppressive body ideals that govern so many of our desires, cherishing the impact of real, human forms. Directed by Force Majeure’s Kate Champion, the work is a collaboration with artist and fat activist Kelli Jean Drinkwater.

“As an artist and a woman of size my creative practice and my body politics are inseparable,” Drinkwater explained in an email to The Huffington Post. “Exploring ways to reclaim spaces and platforms that are often prohibitive to ‘othered’ bodies is a huge inspiration. I also enjoy the aesthetic potential of taking up space.”

The next one is quite possibly the FIRST FEMALE HEALTH CAMPAIGN THAT DOESN’T SHAME OR EXCLUDE WOMEN!

Sport England launched their newest campaign This Girl Can earlier this week. It aims to support and celebrate women of all ages and abilities involved in sport and activity, and is summed up in their launch video, which has garnered almost 1m views in just 3 days.

Body-positive and inclusive, the campaign is a refreshing break from the usual discussion of female fitness, especially online. While This Girl Can celebrates women in sport regardless of their physical appearance, many discussions of the topic focus only on fitness being the means to achieve a certain body type.
