Disclaimer(s)
Language is a powerful tool, it has been used to quantify, qualify and describe what we see. Therefore, some of terms used in this video to refer to individuals based on their gender, sexual orientation and social stance were quoted directly from books and other references of Diane Arbus’ work. And do not reflect in many instances the contemporary values, as well as, the moral and social standards of the content creator.

This video attempts to build a positive view on the work of the late photographer Diane Arbus, thus, incentivising the audience to support her work and understand its historical and artistic importance.

"The world can only be grasped by action, not by contemplation. The hand is the cutting edge of the mind." Diane Arbus
