Defective Goddesses
Defective Goddess merges autobiographical making with historical research on health, exploring how myths and legends shape societal views on secrecy and authority. Rooted in gender-biased, underfunded healthcare systems, it questions how past attitudes fuel current disparities. By blending historical iconography with modern narratives, the project invites reflection on cultural constructs in healthcare and encourages dialogue on equity and transformative change.
