Tools of emancipation

The project’s goal is to explore and draw attention to the problem of gender discriminatory practices in design. Second-generation (unintentional) gender bias is present in many different areas of design and is an effect of multiple causes such as deeply-rooted stereotypes, social constructs, cultural taboos and a data gap in research. The set consists of four jewellery pieces: a safety hammer necklace, a tampon brooch, a knuckle duster and a crumber bracelet. Each one was inspired by “masculine” objects transformed into symbols of a resistance against gender-biased society – tools of emancipation.
