A Little Bird Told Me... Communicating Street Harassment Concepts through the Arts
The Little Bird project
is an art-activism
project designed to address street harassment in SF (catcalls, lewd comments, groping, and other public sexual
harassment) through multimedia art-based products. The project will promote local artists and
help businesses by enhancing PR, boosting staff morale, and improving customers’
experience on- or near-site.
The
Little Bird kickoff event is being publicized by HollaBack!, an
internationally-recognized women’s rights organization. Through this event, we will
gain logo ideas for merchandise and prompt dialogue on the issue of street harassment. The event will feature the work of several
local artists and a silent auction courtesy of our amazing contributing businesses.
