Artist Kirsha Kaechele arrived at the Tasmania courtroom alongside 25 women dressed in navy business attire, all of whom made a show of reading feminist texts in the courtroom.

Not sure if this was already posted.

The article describes the referenced court case, and the artist’s views and intentions.

      The lady’s only politic was made clear in advance.

      The lounge is a tremendously lavish space in our museum in which women can indulge in decadent nibbles, fancy tipples, and other ladylike pleasures—hosted and entertained by the fabulous butler.

      Any and all ladies are welcome.
