I should be studying for an organic chemistry test but since that plight is hopeless I decided to search for some inspiration instead. I found this amazing video of a french street artist called JR. His project is entitled Women are Heroes. I'm incredibly excited because I've loved his work so I decided to share this with you. And also the promised street art post is coming soon, I haven't forgotten.
The project has been described as follows :
The idea is so simple on paper, and yet so arresting in its execution. JR's team took photos of women living in conflict zones from Kanya and Nairobi to Brazil, blowing up the black and white portraits to plaster them on train cars and on shop walls and the stairs of the communities where the women lived. The photo-posters, which capture women in goofy and dignified and joyful expressions, change the landscape of the neighborhoods temporarily, and also demand locals to see women in a new light
