“I feel like we're looked at as either completely nonsexual characters or overly sexual characters, and I feel like that affects how we're treated in the public space by men. I believe that women of color experience street harassment in a very hyper way. So I wanted to draw these women in their very normal, regular states and put those images out there in the public for people to see, instead of these other, very sexualized, images of women.” PeopleMenWayFeelsBelieveStatesCharacterWantedI BelieveSpaceStreetsColorNormalDrawsTreatedHarassmentHyperStreet Harassment Author:Tatyana Fazlalizadeh
“I think it's very important to get this stuff on film, not just the behind-the-scenes of the process, but also the interviews with the women. We're going to try to do some on-the-street filming, getting people's reactions to the work, and seeing if we can get some street harassment happening on film so people can see what we're talking about. It's important to have some type of documentation so people can see what happens when we create this artwork and why I'm creating it.” PeopleIfsThinkingTryingImportantHappensFilmStuffProcessBehindsTalkingSeeingStreetsTypeSceneCreatingHappeningsReactionsInterviewsArtworkHarassmentBehind The ScenesDocumentationStreet Harassment Author:Tatyana Fazlalizadeh
“It's been kind of extreme - people either love it or they don't like it at all - and I think that's a good thing. It's my first art project where there's not a middle ground. I find it very interesting. But the negative feedback hasn't at all kept me from doing it, obviously. Because I haven't really gotten any negative feedback that I feel is really warranted.” PeopleThinkingFeelsFirstsKindArtInterestingMiddleHavensProjectsNegativeGood ThingsExtremesFeedbackVery InterestingMiddle GroundArt ProjectsNegative Feedback Author:Tatyana Fazlalizadeh
