#SlutWalkNYC
USA, 2013, Blu-Ray, Color, 5’, English
Director: Therese Shechter
“Women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized.” This quote by a Toronto police officer galvanized feminist women to create the first SlutWalk in 2011, unleashing a global political movement.
Often mis-characterized as a march demanding the right to dress like ‘sluts’, its true aim is to shed the stereotypes and dangerous myths that justify rape and whitewash the guilty. The film documents New York SlutWalk empowering for some and contraversial and exclusionary for others.

Over the years of 1864 through 1876, Stanisław Chlebowski served Sultan Abdülaziz in Istanbul as his court painter. As it was, Abdülaziz disposed of considerable artistic talents of his own, and he actively involved himself in Chlebowski’s creative process, suggesting ideas for compositions –such as ballistic pieces praising the victories of Turkish arms.
