In doing so, I want to better understand how I have been indelibly shaped through my own passive viewing of a lifetime’s worth of visual information – from classical works in the Western art historical cannon, to a myriad of commercial images, such as signage and news photos to film stills and advertisements. By extension, I want to celebrate women-identified artists, activists, and cultural producers who are often under-recognized or who have been written out of popular discourse. In reclaiming the term "hotheads," which is frequent used as a pejorative against socially active and activated women, I also wish to celebrate how hotheads dare to flout decorum and authority in their expressions of independent thought and action.
