This was one of the best interactive exhibits at EAST (East Austin Studio Tour). Since I produce a show that highlights personal narratives, I felt I’d entered a kindred space.
We had the option of taking a picture while holding one of their prepared signs that resonated with us, or making one of our own. I knew exactly which statement I wanted to get off my chest–or rather my back. Unlike all the other participants, I didn’t hold my sign in front of my chest. Most assholes who copped a feel of my locks did it from behind.
I taped my picture on the cleavage of a pair of pendulous breasts. If indeed the future is female, then we have to promote stories that aren’t covered by the dominant narrative.
