INSIGHT: BODIES
by ADAPT
These images were done as part of a collaborative anti-street harassment portrait project with members of Collective Action for Safe Spaces, and Defend Yourself! These pieces were created through a series of "Self-Defense for Street Harassment" based workshops. Participants were able to share their experiences and turn them into expressive posters of resistance to catcallers. The resulting portraits of the women with their signs were printed life-size and pasted in public places to generate street level dialogue and create a culture not compatible with street harassment and sexual assault. Wheatpaste series, 2013. Various dimensions.
