Street art that addresses street harassment

Stuff like "Don't Tell Women to Smile"

I wonder if the posters are getting any conversations going or doing any good.

1. I remember her!!

The first versions of those artworks were actually more letter-sized, if I remember correctly. The first thing that happened to them when she hung them up was that people started to deface them with comments about how the men were complimenting them and how much of a (insert curseword here) she was.

I'm really glad that her answer to that kind of bullshit was to make the art pieces again, just larger. Hahah.

ETA: my bad, they were a little big ger than letters. Here's what I was talking about.

2. She continually generates conversation, so I think she is doing some good

At least she raises awareness. Sh hasn't dropped off the grid either-- the media is still paying a certain amount of attention
