Oppression derives from the concept of being weighted down, a feeling of being heavily burdened mentally or physically.  Simply defined, OPPRESSION is the:
  • Exercise of authority or power in a burdensome, cruel or unjust manner
  • Mistreatment and exploitation of a group, category, or team of people or individuals.
  • Development of laws, customs, and practices that systematically reflect and produce inequities based on one’s membership in targeted social identity groups.

Design a wall hanging that either depicts a form of oppression or reflects freedom from oppressive conditions. (Maximum Dimensions)
