Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this bachelor’s thesis was to examine anger and how society and culture places limitations to the expression of it depending on who is the one expressing it. The way society views and interprets displays of anger is also depending on who’s the one displaying it as well as the consequences of those actions. Emphasis is on the role of the sex assigned at birth regarding these limitations and consequences.
The thesis is a research on anger as an emotion, societal expectations regarding anger and how anger has been and is visible in the art world. I also discuss examples of contemporary feminine-presenting artists whose works can be viewed as angry or have been condemned because of their anger. Genderroles are being examined as well since they have their effect on everything said.
The final part of the thesis is a reflection on the subject through artistic process, which consists of six bodies of work. Besides that the feedback of the exhibition and the research itself are also under the reflection. The works were exhibited in the Raw Degree Show of the Fine Art study path of Tampere University of Applied Sciences during 11.3. – 26.3.2023 in Gallery Himmelblau, Tampere.
