Artists that challenged the status quo..

Ana Mendieta

untitled; Facial Transplant 

Ana Mendieta is one of my favorite artists that I discovered last year in one of my art classes. She is one of those female artist that created her own type of style as she was known as being unexpected. Creating this project with her friend by putting his facial hair on herself and glueing it on her face. Showing the sexualities of what men and women do not have to define themselves, allowing women to have facial hair to look different. While showing the masculine and feminine power of what can be created when challenging the identity of what a women should look like what men should look and have. Showing sexual identification to women trying to see themselves as "powerful as men are." That women also have that power no matter how they look or what they want or identify as one.
