WOMEN IN THE DARK speak out
Participatory action | 2024
Solidarität zeigen & zum Sprechen ermutigen ‚WOMEN IN THE DARK speak out‘ will be stamped in bold red ink as a powerful statement on white shirts. Participants can personalize their designs further by adding texts or drawings with a red permanent marker. Secondhand shirts are provided free of charge, allowing each individual to create their shirt freely and uniquely. Once the design is complete, participants wear their finished shirt and are photographed from both the front and back. The photos will be published.
