Artist/Activist Ann Lewis completed this mural on the evening when SB8 was passed in Texas and this is her response to the perpetual and systemic oppression of non-male bodies. The timing, location and context of this piece on the YWCA is “a work that has shifted my public art practice in a powerful way. In placing this figure on the chimney of the building” Lewis stated that the body is “Feminine, rising, autonomous, strong, empowering. This is what the YWCA is all about… They leave us no choice- by any means necessary fight for your autonomy. Your state might be next.”
