Gender Fluidity in Photography

IMA 2021 Autumn/Winter Vol.36

Throughout the long history of mankind, unlike the Garden of Eden, there were more than just “men” and “women” in this world. Gender discriminiation is not as simple as it is defined by the society. There exists as many ranges of sexualities and gender as there are people and it is an issue that deeply concerns the entire world population. In the present time, its social awareness is changing day by day. The photographers introduced in this volume has lived through such years of fluidity, earnestly facing the subjects that stand in front of them and bestowed a redefined sense of value. How will your thoughts change after reading this issue?
