MAY THEIR MEMORIES BE FOR A REVOLUTION

‘ “May Their Memories Be for a Revolution” by MacArthur ‘Genius’ Fellow, Dr. Faye Ginsburg. The essay explores the connections between feminist activism, disability advocacy, and collective memory. Dr. Ginsburg is a leading intellectual on reproductive rights, indigenous media production, disability studies, and ethnographic filmmaking. In her essay for Feminist Futures, Dr. Ginsburg reflects on her own feminist work, her daughter Sam’s disability advocacy, the uprisings in Iran, and the intertwining deaths of Jina Mahsa Amini and Sam Myers. ‘

Faye’s powerful essay includes a beautiful interpretation of Sam’s signature wings photo. Visit the site and give the wings a minute to unfold to get the full effect!
