‘Girls To The Front’ is a self initiated campaign raising awareness of sexual harassment and sexual assault in live music environments. It is inspired by the musical genre, Riot Grrrl, a 90s feminist punk movement, combining feminist consciousness with punk style and politics. It is often associated with third-wave feminism and addresses issues such as rape, domestic abuse, sexuality, patriarchy, classism, anarchism and female empowerment.
I chose this cause and combined it with Riot Grrrl as I thought that the cause was a current politicized and social issue, and by combining it with Riot Grrrl, it plays to some of their beliefs but in a more specific way. It created scope for me to develop and play on their DIY design style, whilst also creating my own campaign.
