Why I Rebel
The Why I Rebel series showcases a collection of portraits and audio interviews featuring community members who actively challenge prevailing currents of prejudice.
In response to the prompt ‘Why I Rebel,’ participants are invited to share their insights through audio recordings while being photographed with their answers superimposed over their faces. The interviews and photographs serve the purpose of offering viewers a glimpse into the models’ perspectives on individual and communal resilience, determination, along with an unwavering commitment to change. Moreover, they aim to encourage viewers to engage in introspection, examine their own beliefs and actions, and consider how they can contribute to a more inclusive and equitable society.
The series is created by Liz Williams (She/They) and produced in collaboration with Southern Equality Studios, the art program of the LGBTQ+ non-profit organization Campaign for Southern Equality (SouthernEquality.org).
