A CARDIFF poet aims to challenge stereotypes about feminism through a series of artworks.
\nHanan Issa, 30 has collaborated with London based artist, Nasima Ahmed to create poems and images\u00a0demonstrating the concepts of feminism and equality.
\nMs Issa described the process that she and Ms Ahmed went through to make the artwork and what inspired them to create it.
\nShe said: \u201cWe wanted to explore three different ideas through a poem and an image. So the best way was for me to write a poem first and then send that to Nasima.
\n\u201cShe would then illustrate based on the subject of the poem. So one is about how we build walls of difference and that\u2019s essentially where equality gets a bit fuzzy.
\n\u201cAnother shows a group of people with their hands clasped together. They represent the different types of people in world who need to stand together. That\u2019s what we felt feminism was about.\u201d<\/span>
