Abstract
ABSTRACT This article presents The Adipositivity Project, a photo-activism project focused on creating visual resistance to fat oppression. For fifteen years and across three continents, Substantia Jones has captured people of various races, gender presentations, and physical abilities, each displaying as much of their bodies as they feel comfortable. The project rejects anti-fat attitudes, fatpocalyse rhetoric, and diet culture, instead providing a visual diet of images that reveal fat bodies are bodies that are worthy of artistic inspiration. The images of the Adipositivity Project have been displayed in the mainstream media, in galleries, blogs, and more, increasing visibility of fat bodies as an act of fat liberation.
