Invisible Women - A World Designed for Men
Practitioner:
Caroline Criado Perez
Date:
Mar 7 2019
The problem with feminism is that it’s just too familiar. The attention of a jaded public and neophiliac media may have been aroused by #MeToo, with its connotations of youth, sex and celebrity, but for the most part it has drifted recently towards other forms of prejudice, such as transphobia. Unfortunately for women, though, the hoary old problems of discrimination, violence and unpaid labour are still very much with us.

Adidas by Stella McCartney’s SS21 collection calls on us to protect our oceans
Practitioner:
Stella McCartney w/ Adidas, Monika Mogi, Netti Hurley
Date:
Apr 1 2021
When we think about the protectors of our oceans, our mind is instantly drawn to the image of the lifeguard. Pamela Anderson and David Hasselhoff in bright red swimsuits, their enviable bodies on show, as they run along the coastline. As a result our concept of the role has an elitism about it.
