About
Welcome to Riot Squad, a project dedicated to highlighting the agency, individuality and power of women and non-binary people of colour at the University of Oxford. It is an initiative led by a group of Oxford students in partnership with photographers and artists from Royal College of Art, London. As part of this campaign, a range of students who identify as women and non-binary people of colour at the University were invited to take part in a photoshoot, with the vision of sharing their narratives and carving their spaces at Oxford. This exhibition is the culmination of the project. Using art as a vehicle, this initiative aims to prompt reflections on intersectionality, normativity, image and identity.
