From Silence to Prominence
Ana Pimenta
For the Project Curricular Unit, students were asked to create a free object with a self-proposed theme.
“From Silence to Prominence”, started from an interview given by NPR Music entitled “Nine Women In The Room: A Music Writers Roundtable”, I became curious about the journey of female music journalism and its invisibility.
I believe that, in the way I represented the names of all the women who were part of the history of music (I believe there are still many missing), it is possible to create this visibility and reinforcement of their names and give them the visibility they deserve, hence their title.
I reinforce, in its visual aspect, the stereotype of pink with women wanting to embrace this color as a strong color. When the book is peeled away, it is possible to see the repetition and reinforcement of names to cause a kind of escape from the silence and make it audible, even if only visually.
