"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.
