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.

Personally, I both loved and hated the idea at first. The more I think about it, the more I find it valuable in some way.

    Didn’t a couple of people mention that was all of it before a certain year?

    I don’t know, did they? Also, why would that matter?

      I’ll edit this, I can’t read the other stuff on the mobile version while responding.

      Edit, I mentioned that because the whole place was male only until '65. I don’t think there was that much outcry? (It didn’t look it up, I assume that poster did).

      It would be now in 2024 though.

        Ok so you’re saying that women used to be discriminated and that (thankfully) is no longer the case. Why would it be ok for the opposite to happen? Both things are wrong and that “eye for an eye” mentality benefits no one.

          I do agree both things are wrong. Meaning discrimination.

          I think one person’s art in this case might be described as another person’s stunt.

          Edit, as for whether it’s beneficial, not sure. I guess we’ll see.
