Interwoven
Collage by Charity Akutunda
“I wanted to show how climate change, access to food, flooding, health care, etc intersect
by using woven newspaper and magazine strips of paper. The criss-crossed faces speak to the hidden and uncertain state
that LGBT people are in within the larger context of social, political, culture, climate – all the issues that imake them even more marginalized.”
