After a spike in women murdered at the hands of men (62 this year in Australia so far ) a question went viral on social media: Who would you prefer to be alone in the woods with, a man or a bear? Answers from women have included, “A bear, because if I got attacked by a bear people would believe me.” and “No one would ask me what I was wearing when the bear attacked me.” 

In response, Pussy Willow Power Collective made a Tinder profile for Theodore Growler, and produced this print series, with 62 kisses, in remembrance and counting…

See this series at No Vacancy Gallery, 34-40 Jane Bell Lane, QV Building, Melbourne, 15-26 October. All welcome to the opening celebration Thursday 17 October 6-8 pm. Free collage workshop with the Pussy Willow Power Collective on Saturday 19 October 10-2.
