Big Bowl of Ideas worked with STWTS artist Tatyana Fazlalizadeh to devise an approach to her provocative art project raising awareness about the street harassment women face every day.
Rather than just roll up into a city and start wheat pasting, BBOI worked with her on crafting residencies in different cities, with a diverse mix of activities to amplify the work, give it more texture, get it to new spaces and audiences, plus generate additional media.
This mix of activities included an exhibit at the art gallery Betti Ono in Oakland, being a featured artist for the Downtown LA Art Walk, plus appearances and group discussions with UN Women, Santa Monica College, lithograph signings at El Nopal Press, and yes, more wheat pasting all over the Bay Area and LA. BBOI generated connections, pitched to various institutions and organizations, and conceived specific activities on behalf of its artist client.
