Day Without Meat
Practitioner:
Animal Equality
Date:
Mar 20 2013
While this protest draws quick and reactive attention and awareness to the issue at hand; it does fail to make clear the message that they intend to protest. The audience, which seems to be the general public, may focus on the scandal of the protest. The the vulgar display people as a bloody pieve of meat.

Practitioner:
Elle Azul Duncombe-Mills
Date:
Oct 15 2014

In American media, representations of disordered eating are conditioned and controlled; all we are shown is the crumpled, emaciated anorexic figure with sunken eyes and cheekbones.
