'We knew we were making history.'
In this film we meet #AlexisHunter, who was deeply involved in Britain's feminism scene in the 1970s. Through photography Hunter created artwork that interrogated gender stereotypes and inverted 'the male gaze’. 🖤 bit.ly/3ZtRX0M
Last night at #AlexisHunter wonderful talk/book signing regarding her memoir #JoiLansing: A Body to Die For (about her love affair with the star) at the Stonewall Inn in NYC. Alexis also makes jewelry and I went home with a nice leather and silver wrist band.
#AlexisHunter was an artist, photographer, and feminist. Her work is known for its strong sense of feminism and how it challenged the normative representations of gender in society.
