5/8 Strong Women

Exam Project 2019

What does it mean to be a ”strong woman”?
Which women do we describe as “strong women”?


With a visual expression of strength this project presents an interpretation of the concept as an alternative to the dominant view. This has resulted in an interactive puzzle that encourages reflection as to what we mean by being strong.
