Darja Bajagić is a photographer that deals with taboos and sex that isn't being talked about in a public sphere. Currently attending Yale for a MFA in Painting and Printmaking, Darja Bajagić has often had to disregard accusations made by her faculty. She makes artwork like shaped asymmetrical assemblages that use painted and printed canvas, letters of prisoners who write to young women who write to them, and clipped images from Brat magazine that cater to men who fetishize pubescent girls and the girls who want to be fetishized just to name a few. For me, the work is a statement of how women are to be portrayed in the eyes of men. I am in admiration of her work an the bravery she has to release it.
What are some of the accusations that the faculty have made?
