Artist's book about being blonde. It contains research and origin of blonde gene (hair) and a personal experience as someone with this haircolor.
Since i was little girl i was hearing dumbe blonde jokes, from my classmates, my supposed friends and even my parents. I once felt offended, because it was something i didnt choose and still i was called dumb just because of that. I know that this same pattern happens to lot other differences between people for example skin color and this compared to that is a bit insignifficant. Still it left something in me and for some time really messed up my self-perception to the point i felt the need to dye my hair. Everyone brushes this off because it's just fun, and sometimes it is, but the deep rooted mysogyny and putting women down for any and whatever reason, just bothers me.
I wrote about the history of this “issue”, my stories and thoughts. I had only made a few copies, but hope i can return to this project one day.
