The mural, Stop Telling Women to Smile, addresses the sexual harassment that women endure daily on the street. The mural is visible along Wabash Avenue, in consideration of these street-level encounters. It empowers women as they reclaim the gaze, looking outward at the passersby. This work has received more press coverage and celebration than any other mural in the Wabash Arts Corridor.
