“In March of 2012, when I started witnessing all the attacks on birth control, abortion rights, equal pay, and retractions of protections for survivors of domestic violence, I wanted to see an artistic response. I have seen and studied art that has acted as great catalyst for change – and what we need is a great change. I wanted to create a body of share-able and instantly understandable work that people could connect with and use to continue to spread the word: “women’s rights are being sabotaged, but we are fighting back.”

I am not an excellent verbal communicator. I have a tendency to lose my words. Most of the time when I try to communicate ideas I end up using hand motions, sounds, and gibberish-sounding words to express the feeling of a situation instead of waiting for the perfect descriptive sentences. Some of the phrases I use in my project are from a list that was a product of much advance thinking. Most are drawn from conversations with the models themselves.

Art has always been a communicative force for me. Drawing, painting, dance, photography – each of these things helps me to share my thoughts in a way that is authentic to me. When I discovered photography at age 18, it fit. I was able to produce my thoughts in the way that I thought them. My photographs are direct translations of my thought process, unhampered by lost words. In this way, I find photography to be ideal for me as a way to seek change.

I’m a feminist because I can’t live in a world where I am defined, limited, and categorized by my genitalia, where women are objectified beyond reason, where rape culture thrives, and where these injustices (and more) are so blatantly ignored and denied by so many people.

I believe in the power of intersectional feminism. Even though I still have a lot to learn, I think that by going together, we can go far. I do my best to incorporate as many different aspects of women’s struggles in my work – I want everyone to see themselves in my photographs. The oppression and dehumanization of women affects everyone, and I strongly desire to represent that.

Part of making that happen is being open to the idea that I will always have something to learn – that a detail, a concept, an idea, will always be a mystery to me. This is both frustrating and incredibly motivating. This project has not only helped me to express my anger towards the amount of power that patriarchy wields, but has been an incredible vehicle to understanding parts of feminism that I hadn’t previously been conscious of. As a result, I am so much more aware of what I am being taught by media and privilege, and how to try to circumvent that conditioning to achieve greater equality.

full project

“Liora K’s approach to photography is deeply rooted in herfeminism and fine arts background – choosing to create work that acknowledgesthe vulnerability of the photographic process. Her work is unique in that she consistently pushes in two directions -one shoot might pursue a fantastic and whimsical worldview, while the nextimposes heavy and somber reality.  Bothreflect a shifting worldview – one that celebratory and explorative, and onethat observes with a critical eye.

Liora prefers to create stories and meaning with color and quality of light, focusing her post processing practices almost exclusively on colorand exposure adjustments.  She’s firmly againstliquefying or otherwise “perfecting” her subjects in her work, andinstead chooses to emphasize the beauty of diverse organic forms. 

Since 2012, Liora’s activist work has been published both nationally and internationally. Click here for a list of publications.

How old were you when you came out?

I was twenty-three. It was a month after I left Spring Awakening. I went to Europe alone. It was the first I was ever out of the country. It was the first time I had ever vacationed alone. I was in Florence, and I was journaling. I’ve always kept a journal. All through Spring Awakening—all through high school and ever since—I’ve kept a journal every day. I’d sit in my dressing room at Spring Awakeningeach night after a performance, and I’d obsessively journal about each night’s performance. So I was sitting in Florence journaling, and I realized I had never once journaled about my boyfriend, and I had been in a relationship with him for three and half years. I wouldn’t even write about it in my journal because I was afraid somebody might read it. But then in Florence I started one day just journaling about him and realized I never had before, and I started wondering, “What is happening?” I knew in that moment I was going to come out of the closet. I came back home and came out to my family first. And then my friends. Then I broke up with that boyfriend and moved out of the apartment we were sharing as “roommates.” ~ Jonathan Groff, FourTwoNine Magazine

I should really try to go and find this magazine in store, but I really can’t right now. I tried asking the magazine on Twitter, but I haven’t gotten a response other than “Where in your state are you?” So if any of y’all know where to get this magazine, please do share! It’s called FourTwoNine Magazine. The issue is named “Boys of Summer.” 

Conrad Ricamora is featured in it, so that’s why I’m so determined to find it. If you do, please tell me or share the photo(s) of Conrad Ricamora if you can. :D
