Flight of Equality:
A Feminist Aviary of Welcoming Nests
Created by students in WGS150 Perspectives in Gender and Sexuality at Wake Forest University
Led by Dr. Wanda Balzano, Spring 2024
Flight of Equality embodies a multifaceted work rooted in sustainability, feminism, and the nurturing essence of gardens. Through the creation of birdhouses that serve as both sanctuaries for birds and symbols of inclusivity, we honor the interconnectedness of ecosystems and celebrate diversity. Our mission transcends traditional notions of hospitality; we aim to cultivate a culture of equality and empowerment, recognizing the vital role of gender equality in fostering mental well-being and collaboration, much like the interplay of diverse plant species in a flourishing garden. This initiative serves as a reflection of the delicate balance found in nature, advocating for sustainable practices that not only support our feathered friends but also uplift our communities and contribute to the preservation of our planet for future generations.
Proceeds from this auction will benefit organizations in the greater Winston-Salem area. Thank you for visiting!
