Nasty Women Zine

Produced in conjuction with the series of Nasty Women NWA events that took place around April 2017. Nasty Women Exhibitions started in early 2017 in response to Tr*mp calling Clinton a “nasty woman”. The 10 events in NWA during the month of April were put together by a ton of organizers.

An excerpt from the book:

“Nasty Women is a global art movement that serves to demonstrate solidarity among artists who identify with being a Nasty Woman in the face of threats to roll back women’s rights, individual rights, and abortion rights. With over forty fundraising art exhibitions taking place around the United States and abroad, Nasty Women Exhibitions also serve to support organizations defending these rights and to be a platform for organization and resistance.

Nasty Women Northwest Arkansas is a series of art events, all taking place during the month of April 2017. Proceeds from the events and this book benefit the Northwest Arkansas Center for Sexual Assault that provides necessary and free support in our community.

This book isn’t a document of the work involved in the art exhibits as much as an extension of it. Work in this volume was sourced from national local (to Arkansas and nearby communities) artists and writers who exhibited in the shows at Stage 18, Local Color, and Backspace in Fayetteville. We do not have a goal for what you should think after reading this. Merely absorb, ponder, and cherish the Nasty Women in your life.”
