Feel free to jump in, June and anyone else, with more and better insights. The work is permanently installed at the Brooklyn Museum and is now open to the public.

Growing Out My Bush Day 180 - From Bare to Bush It’s been 180 days since the inception of this (almost accidental) project.

It has been a year of feminist insurrection against male violence: a year of mounting refusal to be silent, refusal to let our lives and torments be erased or dismissed. It has not been a harmonious time, but harmony is often purchased by suppressing those with something to say.

Men, if you really think you’re a feminist here’s what to do when a woman says you’re being sexist There’s a conversation I’ve had with men more times than I care to recount and it goes a bit like this: Me: “Hey, that’s a sexist thing to say.” Man: “ME?
