RightNOW
Women’s Rights Project

We wanted to create action to raise awareness for change and support Women’s Rights worldwide.

The goal was to harness the political power of all genders to create transformative social change around the issues of women’s equality. 

We asked you be a part of an art installation of public art by simply sending us a photo of you.

We used half of your photo with another persons — to symbolise that women are not fully represented in society and not in control of their bodies.

As more of you joined in, the live window and online display filled up with a mass of 1000 supporters of Women’s Rights.

Such rights being exploited are Women’s Suffrage, Sexual and Reproductive Rights, Freedom of Movement, Gender Inequality, Sexual Violence and Harassment, Workplace Discrimination, the list goes on...currently the school girls being gassed in Iran and the school girls being denied education in Afghanistan are priority.

Check out our press reviews in The Washington Post here and here.

About the RightNOW Project

The RightNOW project appeared in the seven large former retail windows at 5510 Wisconsin Ave, Maryland. 

This year, women’s rights in the United States were eliminated and dismantled. The air went out of the room for millions of women. With this assault, we became more acutely aware of inequality plights facing women around the world, haunted almost daily by fresh new abominations. Without doubt, this is a pivotal moment in Herstory.

Today, women do not experience respect and equality; they aren’t even in control of their own bodies. Historically women used their bodies to peacefully demand equal rights. They have linked arms, marched, chained themselves to buildings, and even taped over their mouths. In 1913, the National Women’s Party started collecting photographs of suffragettes who supported equal voting rights.

We believe that today, images of women using their bodies, committed to equality, can enable change. We support women’s equality in society worldwide.
