Long skirt (off white) | I'm not your token

CONCEPT

I'm not your token:

"These days, in culturally liberal industries such as the art world, there is a tendency to hire people of color, female presenting people, and queer people into leadership roles and positions in order to appeal to the public that they are "really embracing diversity." This message is intended to expose and oppose tokenism, and because it is something I want to say but cannot say clearly, I deliberately use the first person." Shionoiri Yayoi

What is tokenism? Tokenism is a form of pretense. For example, supporting racism or sexism while making minimal effort to do so. (Wisdom English-Japanese Dictionary)
The pretense of giving advantages to unequally treated groups in society in order to create the appearance of fairness. (Cambridge English Dictionary)

Tokens literally mean "symbols," "souvenirs," "evidence," etc. There is an issue of being given a seat in the "minority slot" as evidence for the rightness of "diversity." In reality, they find it difficult to speak up as they are surrounded by the attributes of the overwhelming majority, and conversely, they are seen as "someone who represents the voice of the minority," and are not seen as individuals and are pressured. As the recognition of diversity as beautiful and right spreads, there is a danger that it will be packaged and labeled only with superficial beauty, and the essential human rights and will of individuals will be ignored.
