Professionally Inked
You're perfect for the job in every way.
You have all the necessary skills and experience the company is looking for,
and you've arrived
at the interview in your best attire.
But there's one problem…
Professionally Inked is a visual
representation that reveals
the discrimination
of people
with visible tattoos in the workplace.
Corporate stereotypes demand a particular appearance that is clean, standard,
and conforming. These dress codes suppress individualism, while also
discriminate against certain applicants for jobs. Even though these dress code
policies have taken an extreme swing in recent years, how often do
professionals actually apply them in their hiring process?
These images embody those professionals
who are equally as qualified for their positions as their colleagues without
tattoos. They allow the viewer to evaluate their views on job performance
without biased opinion of personal appearance.
Does covering the tattoos themselves change the performance of the employee?

After we discussed the exhibition in class, I realized that I had great images, but it didn't really match my curatorial statement. I think it is always better to find the images you want to use, then create the statement instead of the other way around. That would be my advice when creating a virtual exhibition.
