"All The Time. Every Day." was a collaboration between myself and Fusion Digital to take Stop Telling Women to Smile to Mexico City. It was my first time to Mexico, and my first time recreating STWTS outside of the US. I wanted to learn what women in Mexico City experience with sexual harassment in public spaces, and how I could use this project to help them fight against it.

During a week in Mexico City, I met with dozens of women and created posters for the public depicting their experiences with street harassment.

An interactive, engaging website, created by Fusion hosts the documentation of this work. The site takes viewers not only through our week-long trip to the city, but an extensive look at the problem of street harassment through the stories of 72 women. The site includes videos detailing the process, an interactive map listing where we pasted, and several clips of women describing harassment they've received, and what they want to say about it.

Thank you to everyone who made the trip possible. Ingrid, who hosted us at her art space, Umbrella. Yucari and Emmanuel, who helped scout pasting locations and helped me paste. Gabriela, for her support. And all of the women who donated their time, energy, and stories.

We left hundreds of posters in Mexico City, and since my trip, the pasting has continued by volunteers.

I encourage to spend some time on the Fusion site. Listen to these women's stories.

Research about  Guerrilla Girls - The Feminist Masked Avengers

Wearing gorilla masks and miniskirts and sporting pseudonyms of deceased lady artists like Frida Kahlo, Kathe Kollwitz, and Alma Thomas, the feminist art collective Guerrilla Girls started shaking the art world over 30 years ago. Formed in New York in 1985 with the mission to bring into focus gender and racial inequalities in the fine arts, their legacy is marked by various forms of protest artworks and flagrant acts of misogyny shaming. Through stickers, posters, billboards, dialogues, debates and ‘weenie counts’, they have pointed out the hypocrisy of the art world traditions and institutions and their prevalent sexism and racism. Expressing their ideals and opinions regarding the variety of social topics, their works, mainly posters, are a combination of humorous images, outrageous visuals and statistics. The art collective is still very active, and they have expanded their practice to criticize politicians as well, especially conservative Republicans.

I think, its multi-participant, or it could be a "solo".  People use colors or graphics or materials for agonist Sth or announce south when we say the project is "art activism".  For example, feminism as one of the representative themes of activism art. Guerilla Girls, who have battled sexism and racism in 1985, called out the gallery for failing to address male bias in its collecting and curatorial teams by designing posters and outdoor advertising.

To different from it, "activism" is some sentences with absolute words or some out of regular behaviors, E.g. The landmark Roe v. Wade ruling of 1973, which established a constitutional right to abortion, was overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court on June 24th.

For political issues, some concerns about the War between Russia and Ukraine (3/15) / against Abortion laws in America (2/15) / the gap of wealth (2/15) / the death of Shinzo Abe (2/15) recently. In addition, the themes of how to keep sustainable development also be focused by university students, for example Ling plans to design a production for recycling plastic bottle.

By the way, climate change is taking quite participations in life. Though some students mentioned it roughly, the interesting phenomenon is that if talking about the social issue, they could come out with a large of comments, (4/15)
Like "what is the Hotter weather effect in their test", "how to confront the higher temperature" in this summer.

The Dinner Party is a hymn to the females and an installation for 'rotten egg thrown' at the males. It essentially challenges male reproduction and suggesting that female reproduction is as powerful and symbolic as male reproduction in patriarchal society. In the result, it made to enshrine  those who love and gnashed by those who hate.

According to Judy Chicago, "There is a difference between seeing yourself active and seeing yourself passively, and the power comes from knowing your own gender, knowing your female self."

The Dinner Party was inspired by personal experiences in which Chicago found herself in a male-dominated environment. In those environments, males determine the imagine nature of conversation. Chicago highlights the importance of women owns, who are often overlooked and recognizes their efforts to fight for rights. This artwork is not much a declaration, it is as an investiture, an expression of gratitude and inspiration.

As we all know, Judy Chicago is the first feminist and artist of the new century, and she is also an educator. She spent a long time creating what is called the "central image" of female reproduction, and brought brilliant artworks about a female that is impossible to find in traditional art history.

Female art is a kind of activist culture that shows gender justice. Judy Chicago created flowers and butterflies from female body allusion, the axial image  known as it. Then on the image of the center of a flower, is a metaphor for female genitalia. By the way, this is her unique artistic style. These colorful and symmetrical axial images have obvious feminine characteristics, which compete with the majestic and powerful reproductive images of males in classical art works. Threw directly challenge as the discourse, power  penile center in the previous art field by Judy Chicago.

However, Judy Chicago's work is like a piece of blue cheese, which is tested by lovers and shunned by haters. Contemporary British artist Cornelia Parker said, "There are 'too many vaginas' in this work," adding, "It's kind of depressing that we're all reduced to vaginas." (1979) For example, the decorative works  "Dinner Party", which discussed flowers and butterflies on the plates, is quite intuitive and specific for show the female body. In the later stage of her creation, she even blurred the boundary between flowers and female reproductive organs, giving people a hazy sense of dizziness.

Chicago's minds have been brought to everyone through her artworks, including books and lectures. In spite of my agreements with Cornelia Parker's,  but her work has changed the lives of thousands of people -- that's the power of art. As well as this, she is my idol  feminist, I could learn how to think flexibly of life into art from hers in an interactive way.

I  also can use black humor in the work to make some serious messages, engaging with learning from guerrilla girls. To recall on feminism, in the form of posters, books, billboards, and public appearances, for take a question about 'Why female college students still must get married when she got degrees'. This question hopes it that more people reflect on the meaning deeply of higher education reform and rethink about what is innovation of education take on.

When I consider about how interactively for the outcome with the females, I would like to try to put a huge and 'white' poster on somewhere for paint.

I plan to design a whiteboard could be written or painted as tall as a one-story building, place it at the entrance place of the graduation ceremony in my school campus. In addition, collation of a data to report about 'how many female college  students forced into marriage rather than enjoy her career, she likes' and make it into a huge poster at the somewhere entrance of the freshmen in my college.

To celebrate the great contributions of women, like Judy Chicago, to make an installation like a banquet to show it. Thinking from this macro perspective, I got inspired, which makes me think of the vast universe of stars.

There is no doubt that this is full of mystery and curiosity about the unknown, and, in common terms, the stars represent a noble and bright spirit.  Is it possible that if I compare each star with a prominent female figure? After that, show it to the public, for example, an asteroid named after a prominent woman in history, put it in a square -- a place where everyone can see it.

In addition, I also learned that Guerrilla Girls had made a series of installations for exhibiting some data, whether I could have expressed it is worth thinking about in the same way. May it be recorded the process in a short video?

I thought the Whiteboard was a fun project, but it seemed like my goal to free speech. At the same time, it lacked a little  innovation and logic. I overturned some of my previous ideas... I need to rethink about my project. At the first, I need to think further on this basis of white board by myself. For example, What does the whiteboard mean? How do I want to interact with the outside world? What's the reason I keep doing it? Secondly, I need to go back to my references to find out.

Above is my inspiration, while I was moved by their passion and courage.  Every feminist artist is free to work on a subject of their choice. Nothing more than experience is the best inspiration for them. Hence I started to think again about what would my project look like through these famous works of feminist art.  I learned the art tones, pathway, interaction, and similar thinking about doing anonymous things. But on the other hand, express girl-power is a modern, vintage, retro comic, in my mind.

I want to criticize the illustration from The Dinner Party, it is beautiful, but it is also too “vulgar”. I would give expression to it in a tactful way instead of.

I'm going to set up an installation in the square to express my ideas. This is two men having a tea party. This one sounds darkly funny. Right?  So the size of the metal figure is normal. Metals also often represent neutrality. And I'll set up a stereo nearby to play interviews with prominent women. I want it somewhere with a lot of people, like this square. Additionally, maybe it's also a lecture about feminism. I would like to make posters regularly to attract students to listen. As well to this, Maybe it's a lecture about feminism. I'm trying to integrate promotion to interact with others like a Guerrilla Girl, such as public lectures Off-line and surrounding newspapers or magazines online.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to make posters and magazines regularly to attract students to go the square for listening. I hope that our activity is positive in the audience's feelings. For example, they could think, "we are expressing a kind of life attitude!"

To be honest, I know that in the reality, while many accept feminism, many more despise it.  Amazed / curiousness/ newness/ confounded/ annoying, when some see this. I will take all kinds of opinion and get all suggestions from others. From this perspective, I consider that it is impossible to build a branding as a platform for connecting.

You can also see similar web sites. I will update the content regularly online. What I have been trying to emphasize about this art activism project is, It could be an expression of gratitude, and it is not a declaration.

*Red High Heels is named of the column of the magazine that I made it. The inspiration of name comes from the characteristics of women.
