Can fairytales be feminist? | Erin-Claire Barrow | TEDxCanberra

Artist, illustrator and author Erin-Claire Barrow loves fairytales. Her project, Feminist Fairytales, combines art, social justice issues, a feminist perspective and the desire to change the narrative of story-telling to a format that all can engage with. Erin-Claire Barrow is an artist and illustrator originally from the Adelaide Hills in South Australia. She paints in watercolours to create whimsical scenes, storybook illustrations, and bring to life some of the strange creatures of fairy tales and folklore. Erin-Claire is always on the lookout for ways to combine her passions for art and social justice and is particularly interested in how art can be used to raise awareness of human rights issues. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
