It's been a while since Radhika Viswanathan @radhikavisw shared one of her wandering vignettes with us. This week, she describes something we've all experienced at some point or the other. What we want to know is: do you yield or do you not yield?
Hi. If you're on Instagram, we really hope you check out our feed today. We have the most amazing guest curator Pooja Saxena @anexasajoopinstagram.com/p/CN1cPWmJy6i/…
@anexasajoop: For as long as I can remember, I have judged the safety of a street or a public space by the number of women I could see. Lots of women 👍🏼 Barely any 👎🏼 (Waaaay) More often than I would like to admit, I have walked streets where the only woman to be seen was me.
.@poojasaxena More than a question of safety, it feels like a matter of tacit discouragement — you’re not welcome. On days like that, I look to sign boards around me to find any trace of women. Maybe the street is named after one? Or a store, perhaps? Even those are hard to find.
This year, we've worked with some amazingly talented artists to create a visual language for the #cityofwomenpodcast and stunning episode artworks. We write about the process and the thinking behind it on the @VaakaMedia blog medium.com/@vaakamedia/ep…
@cavelightstudio designed our roving eye logo and album artwork.
As we worked towards the launch of episode 1, we knew we wanted to work with artists to create individual artworks for each episode. Adrija Ghosh made this fantastic artwork for Movies (Listen to the episode here: open.spotify.com/episode/3w3al3…)
