Advocating Woman's agency

I decided to choose a critical approach towards the concept of Western-led development work and embraced a postcolonial feminist view on the Agenda 2030.

 

The NGO' s name agency is rooted in the concept that woman in "developing countries" should have the agency to make decisions about the economic development of their regions in their own hands instead of being a passive agent like it is the case right now. The visual language is inspired by brutalist-style political flyers and posters circulating in feminist spaces online and offline.
