I love these. The series of "Stop telling women to smile" portraits of women and statements of empowerment by Tatyana Fazlalizadeh. Women are not here to smile and be pretty for you. My name is not baby. How do we get them up in LA? #tatyanafazlalizadeh #stoptellingwomentosmile

"Stop Telling Women to Smile" by @tlynnfaz​ for @artinadplaces. 👩🏾 Part of her @stoptellingwomentosmile series. "Stop Telling Women to Smile is one piece in a series of work about gender based street harassment. This work is challenging sexism in public spaces by taking the faces and voices of women and placing them in the environment that so often is hostile and dangerous for us: the street. "Art in Ad Places is important for work like this because it replaces the sometimes damaging images from advertisers, with artwork by artists and activists that can provide beauty and solace for passersby." - Tatyana Fazlalizadeh ❤️ Photo by @lunapark 📸 #supportblackart #tatyanafazlalizadeh #stoptellingwomentosmile #adbust #artinadplaces #nycstreetart #streetartnyc #streetart #nycart #sexism #publicart #adtakeover #artivist #artlovers #artwithamessage #artislife #harassment #gender #artstagram #artofvisuals #artist #artoninstagram

“CONEY ISLAND YOUTH”

Tatyana Fazlalizadeh

In 2015 Tatyana did a series of portraits of local residents for Coney Art Walls. She asked each of the people she interviewed what they wish others knew about Coney Island besides just the boardwalk, and ended up using this quote on that wall: “The day before Easter, and the day after Labor Day—people still live here. People die here. People love here.” In 2016 she continued with that theme and installed a new piece featuring several children who live in the community telling Coney Art Walls “It was important for me to allow space for people who live in Coney Island to see themselves . . .” A native of Oklahoma City, Fazlalizadeh now lives and works in Brooklyn and is perhaps best know for her anti-harrassment campaign “Stop Telling Women to Smile” launched in 2012. She was listed as a Forbes 2015 “30 Under 30,” and was named by Brooklyn Magazine as one of the city’s most influential people. @tlynnfaz @coneyislandartwalls @brooklynmagazine @scenesfromthesidewalk

Tatyana Fazlalizadeh gave voice to women who have had experiences with harassment throught her street project called "Stop Telling Women to Smile". In 2012 the artist captured the faces of women who were harassed on the street and she created some art work on the issue. First she painted women on canvas but one year later she started working in public art "because what better medium to create art about street harassment than street art". 

The artist use posters for communicate her message about harassment. Brooklyn, Philadelphia and other parts of NYC were scenes of her art. "My intention with putting up these pieces was to artistically speak up for myself and other women who are harassed on the street". 

The art also works for transforming this world and doing it a better place. Throught it we can contribute with solutions to different problems as Tatyana Fazlalizadeh did.

Idea of She

I think you like the idea of me, but I feel you are lost in this philosophy. Forgive me if I come across as rude, but frankly I am sick of this attitude.

You tell me how it stirs your inner feelings, to see my body’s shape kneeling. But I am not here to offer you a prayer, and I don’t appreciate the way that you stare.

I can see the look on your face, and it fills me with utter disgrace. You disrobe me in the eye of your mind, and you think that I am your lucky find.

Your cat calls fail to catch my attention, and then I hear your insults from my lack of affection. When will you finally understand, than I am not a prize to be won for your hand?

I can see why she covers her body completely, because she can’t walk down the street discretely. When you look at her, see yourself through her eyes, and imagine how it feels to be an object to surmise.

Now you wonder why her voice remains silent from your attempt, and can’t imagine why she holds you in this contempt. Could you for just one moment stand in these shoes, and understand your verbal innuendo as abuse?

I am so sick of these failed strategies, that attempt to deliver self-serving flattery. You clearly do not comprehend, how these words always offend.

But if you think it’s ok because she’s drunk, let me clear the air so there’s nothing left to debunk. When she’s in this state of mind and unaware, it doesn’t mean she’s consented and doesn’t care.

If you think her being drunk is her judge of character, she’s not the one who’s taking advantage of her. Is your honor so fragile and meek, that you can only feel strong, if she becomes weak?

Would you behave in this manner towards your mother, can you start acting like you’re her brother? I know deep down its attention that you seek, but please lose these ancient techniques.

And if you feel she doesn’t have a right to choose, because someone held her down and left her with more than a bruise. Imagine how it would feel to carry this memento in her womb, that leaves her feeling like she’s living in a tomb.

I know that society and culture tells you it’s your right, and why would she even put up a fight? But what if you had been born as a she, would you finally understand how to respect me?

@tlynnfaz 🙏🏾 Women Are Just Trying to Make it Home Safe. Rakia and I spoke about her particular experiences and perspective on street harassment for my book, Stop Telling Women to Smile. She talked about something that struck me. How women are just trying to make it home without being harassed, followed, talked to, cat called, sexualized, whistled at. How we are navigating past violence, rerouting ourselves, smiling and nodding to keep interactions neutral, just to make it home safely. And particularly, Black women, similar to other Black people, are also navigating past police violence in order to make it home safely. It’s something that so many women feel and are taught, the significance of safety. The reality is that women die at the hands of men who feel rejected by them. When we talk about street harassment, we are talking about the right to a sense of safe movement in the public, something that so many women do not have.
