Final Research Paper: Gender and Partition
A paper I wrote as part of my Asian Studies class called contemporary gender politics in South Asia.

Appropriation Project - "Norms"
This is a short video I created on the concept of appropriation for my Visual Arts class. We were given the task of creating a video comprised entirely of content that was not our own - that we took from other videos and other sources. The project was done with the idea of critiquing on the unrealistic beauty standards that are set by society. I used Adobe Premiere to create it and used clips from different beauty ads, along with a slam poetry audio to accompany it.
