Framis reminds us how important it is to dress with a message, she invites us to action. The vulnerable message that the dresses shown here express, is almost like being naked. Today more than ever we need dressed up banners to give our point of view on what is happening in the world, and to fight for our future and conditions of life on Earth.
Not only are the paintings an expression of our being, of a vital moment in our life, but they are also a way to express that art must be a way to socialize with others and be part of a discourse that concerns us.

//Is my body public?, 2018
Transparent fabric and ink
Performance by 15 girls with 15 sentences at Juana de Aizpuru Gallery, Madrid
The dresses are made from thin transparent fabrics, but are at the same time banners for public demonstration and used as such.
They carry a strong message embroidered onto them. “Is My Body Public” is the question asked on each of the 15 dresses, in 15 different languages. With this project, Framis wants to represent an issue that women deal with worldwide. The dresses a tool for them, to explore different, playful ways of demonstrating important issues such as (systematic) sexism.
The collection is used actively in a performance demonstration. By working together with women from different backgrounds, when performed the project gains a participatory and global character.
