MAKING CONNECTIONS
Now I’m reflecting on marginalisation and how to resist that. I’m not always clear how to do it. Wading through the media, it looks as though our daily lives are homogenous, banal, white middle class male orientated. How to change this facade? How to colour perceptions to include what is happening at the margins, how to highlight the genuine, exciting risk-taking by other non-w/mc/m groups or individuals.
What is clear is the importance of connecting, collaborating and conversing thoughtfully with others who want to resist the homogenousity. Is that the right word? It is for how I feel today. It may not be in the dictionary but then it’s not so long ago that people spelled words however they wanted till someone came along and homogenised spelling. Was it the advent of the printing press that fixed spelling? I rest my case.
