Part travelogue and part dialogue, this is the first book on the market to exclusively focus on women as subjects in street art!Interviews with artists peel back the layers between artist and image, revealing stories about their work, its context, and its environment. The women are depicted artistically, politically, and culturally across continents. The artists featured are from the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Peru, Chile, France, Italy, and South Africa. From artists in LA pushing back on Hollywood’s shiny perfection; to painters in Costa Rica examining the cultural links of women, myth, and nature; to women in South Africa decrying domestic violence, what links these works are their temporality and public ownership. Color photos and guided historical context provoke these questions and inspire further ones.
