ABOUT
The Hang Your Bra Exhibition celebrates women’s rights and brings awareness to societal triumphs and challenges women face for having breasts (e.g. breast cancer survival and loss, acceptance and restriction of nursing in public, objectification of breast as sexual pleasure, restrictive garments that pronounce or hide a women’s breast). The desire and rejection of breast as an identifier of femininity.
This exhibition is made possible by the City of Miami, Commissioner Keon Hardemon, Little Haiti Cultural Center, MUCE, Breastless Beauty, and Roots Collective. For more details about MUCE, please contact 305890.2121 or RSP here.
