While filming for our Indiegogo campaign in 2016, a man stopped by to check out what we were doing. In a very candid conversation, he tried to convince us that because the women he "complimented" on the street said 'thank you', they must like it.
In this week's Cat Call Choir experiment we added the Staples Easy Button with "sing" written on it to encourage people to stick around to listen for a verse and perhaps engage in a conversation about street harassment.
What do you think? Should we just sing to people so there's no option to get away from unwanted attention very much like when women are harassed on the streets, in parks, on trains and at work? Or is there value in encouraging the conversation?
Cat Call Choir is a group of female-identified Bay Area performers who create live, interactive works about gender based violence to the tune of nursery rhymes and other widely recognizable songs.
