Intention

This project intends to spread awareness for the failure of the male hegemony to recognize their full influence in the female everyday routine. Spurred by an increasing awareness within contemporary communities that individuals are unaware of micro-agressions that ultimately help perpetuate a misogynistic social culture. Using the common male to female predatorial phrase, "Smile More", as inspiration for the project, we hope to raise awareness on the larger influence that seemingly harmless statements can cause. While the project remains abstract without sufficient knowledge, it intends to promote conversation between various individuals that interact with the object.Twitter users would direct message our family-friendly Twitter account about their individual experiences being catcalled. As a result, the object would "smile" in real life and create an intimate, and yet anonymous, indicator for the physical user.
