Our Lady Revolution

Our Lady Revolution was a video art piece projected onto the Our Lady Evolution structure created by Mia Hardwick and Marty Kenney.

Our Lady Revolution is a response to the proposed R-Evolution statue which was not permitted to be placed on the National Mall by the Parks Department. 

Our Lady Revolution the video is composed of 13 women who answered a call embodying their power, strength, love, rage, sadness. Rather than portraying an idealized figure, they came as they are and became part of this projected piece with in-your-face real power displaying the image of real women in larger-than life size. 

On the second day of Catharsis we organized a live photobooth (not pictured above but wait for it in a follow-up video) where anyone who wanted could step up on a literal soapbox (a wooden box we borrowed from Dr. Bronner's) and enact their story, joy, protest, dance, and celebration. This was Our Lady Revolution the live video and it was open to everyone and anyone that wanted to come up. We had water protectors from Standing Rock, lawyers, journalists, artists, the people of Catharsis, and the people of Washington D.C. at large embodied larger than life on the Mall.
