This project aims to expand on initial research conducted in the spring of 2023 that focused on creating an online survey exploring the perceived increase of women muralists (also known as street artists) in different localities. Particular attention will be given to women muralists’ own impressions of their participation in public art both within a decorative context and as a form of gender expression with a focus on their access to public space (woman is defined as a person who self-identifies as a woman, inclusive of trans and genderqueer women and non-binary people who are fem identified). A further objective of the research is to identify if women muralists think their work is informed by their gender, and subsequently, whether their gender has influenced their ability to produce the street art they want to create.
