The Painted Lady Project

Close your eyes and imagine being surrounded by beautiful fairy princesses, adorned in glitter and various colors of body paint, sound surreal?

Well, The Painted Lady Project is brining fantasy to reality while making you question politics, sexuality and maybe even your own morals.

The Painted Lady Project is a group of women that dress up, rock body pain, and perform at various venues and private parties. The live sculptures that they become send messages of power and resistance to their audiences and the community. The Painted Lady Project was started in 2005 by two women, one a performance artist (Ayo Ngozi), and the other a holistic healer (Tazima Davis).

This art movement is so powerful for many reasons, but the main one being that for many years and still today women (especially brown women) are often over looked and objectified. The Painted Ladies take control of their bodies through performance art and change the way the audience sees themselves and the world around them.

I was fortunate enough to see them perform in an opera at the Fringe Festival and trust me, they are amazingly beautiful.
