Description
Photograph of objects related to the 'Full Stack Feminism in Digital Humanities' team creative writing session, held at the University of Sussex, Sussex Digital Humanities Lab, June 2023, facilated by Sarah Lee. Team members were asked to bring along an object that represented their journey in the Full Stack Feminism project.
This digital image documents the objects brought by Sharon Webb. Sharon describes the object's as relationship to the project as follows:
'I brought the book, 'Undrowned, Black Feminist Lessons from Marine Mammals' by Alexis Pauline Gumbs, and a shell I picked up at Brighton (UK) beach. Both represent an aspect of my journey through Full Stack Feminsm and my journey with long covid. The book (which is master-piece and a must read) is a book of poetic lessons, informed both by feminism and by marine life. For me how the book interwines lessons from the ocean with life lessons struck a number of chords, both as a sea swimmer and an animal rights activits and vegan. Gumbs text explores the need to listen to the methods of colloboration, listening, breathing, which marine mammals practice. These "lessons" specifically around listening have informed how I view the work of full stack feminism, the practices we instill and the way in which we work together. The second object, the shell, I brought as a technology of listening - of close up listening, of intent, and of imagination.
But more than lessons in feminsim, this book and the sea brought me sanity during the various lock downs, and re-entering the sea after 14 months of long covid, brought renewal and new appreciation of my bodies (then current) 'boundaries'. '
