The series presents Women* of Colour Superheroines* as a counter-positioning to the predominantly white and male dominated comic landscape. It serves both, as a representation of Women* of Colour as well as a criticism of mainstream comics. The decision on outfit, name, and superpower is consciously left up to each person. Women* play an active role in this series and are not victims who as so often must be saved.
The images as a form of fiction become part of reality when set in a real space. Thus the visualisation contributs to the transformation of dominant social narratives.
