Podcast Episode 006 The Tears & Tulle Movement Season 1, Week 2, Laura Hollick!
Laura's thoughts on wearing the original skirt:
I chose to wear the skirt in a sea of rainbow to make it feel like a dream. I believe the most empowering thing we can do for women at this time is dream a new dream about what it means to be a woman. No longer do we need to be the prop or property of others. We can claim ownership of ourselves. The new dream I'm imagining is one where women value themselves for being themselves. I see us awaking a new chapter of feminine sovereignty. (as seen on Laura’s website that's listed below) > This year I started mentoring with Von Wong, the Artist Activist. Through our sessions, I realized that I want to use my gift of art, creative expression and insight to make real change in the world. At the same time I was invited to be part of a creative project called Tears & Tulle, as seen in this image above. The concept for the project created by Gina Bell, is to empower women’s unique expression. She shipped a rainbow tulle skirt around the world and asked women to do photos with the skirt to express female empowerment. I was so delighted to be invited to be part of this project. When I received the rainbow tulle skirt I wanted to create an image that reflected that female empowerment is currently in the dream state where we can literally dream a new world into being. Art as Activism has taught me that art has power to reach people in ways beyond logic.
