Social Action Against Cultural Appropriation

In 2011 a group of students at Ohio University started a poster campaign denouncing the use of cultural stereotypes as costumes. The campaign features people of color alongside their respective stereotypes with slogans such as "This is not who I am and this is not okay." [1] The goal of the movement was to raise awareness around racism during Halloween in the university and the surrounding community, but the images also circulated online and received a largely positive response. [2]

In October 2014 the blog "Reclaim the Bindi" was started by anonymous user M, taking its name from a phrase coined by style blogger Anjana Raj, founder of Bangle Banger. [3] The phrase has also taken the form of a hashtag used by people of South Asian descent to show themselves wearing traditional garb. #CoachellaShutdown is used in conjunction with #ReclaimtheBindi in order to combat the use of the bindi at music festivals, most notably the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.[4] Reclaim the Bindi Week seeks to promote the cultural significance of the bindi and combat its use as a fashion statement as well as empower South Asians of all genders. [5]
