Kathleen DaSilva 


Ways of Seeing, John Berger, Chapter 1

"The past is not for living in; it is a well of conclusions from which we draw in order to act" Pg. 11

"The eye of the other combines with our own eye to make it fully credible that we are part of the visible world" Pg. 9 

The Art of Self-Invention, Joanna Finkelstein, Chapter 1 

"Such representations are symbolic of a social life in which we habitually define and invent ourselves in the exigencies of the moment" Pg. 48 

"a man or woman goes to bed with someone s/he is crazy about and wakes up to discover the astonishing fact that the body in the bed belongs to someone entirely different, someone hated or alien or just different" Pg. 50

Overlooked No More: Ana Mendieta 

"And she laughed about it sometimes when people got freaked out" 

"The trauma of being uprooted from her Cuban homeland as a girl would leave her with questions about her identity and make her more conscious of being a woman of color"
