Barbara, the pink superheroine. Reflections on a Self-Portrait Study
Abstract
Barbara is a reflection. Barbara is a superheroine who defies norms, rules and measures by occupying the space she claims in the world. Barbara is a social critique and at the same time a healing, a way of processing trauma. Barbara is the double of the artist, the anthropologist, and potentially every other woman in the mirror. The artist’s gaze and the anthropologist’s pen give rise to an exchange of experiences and lived experiences, celebrating an anti-Barbie in a paroxysm of pink.
