Subversive humor
This is the doctoral thesis of Andrés Riquelme Riquelme.
He asked me for a good cover that would express in an illustration the theme of his doctoral thesis.
"Subversive humor" is the humor used to criticizing something in a clever and indirect way in order to make it weaker or less effective.
In his thesis he talk about how feminism use the subversive humor against patriarchy.
To represent that i decided to use a figure with female features wich represent some of the victims of patriarchy (cis or trans women, it doesn't matter, is a problem for everyone).
In front of that there are a classic male figure
made up of sexist and oppressive phrases.
And in this case, humor is used to confront these macho attitudes.
I like to work on projects of a social and vindictive nature.
There are many ways to fight social injustices.
Thank you Andrés for give me this oportunity and thank you for make this world better for everyone.
