Projektin inspiraationa toimi America Ferreran jo ikoninen kysymys Barbie-elokuvassa – ”Entä tavallinen Barbie?” – sekä vuoden 2024 Brat Summer, joka korosti arkielämän estetiikkaa ja itsevarmaa naisellisuutta. Nämä hetket muokattiin kansainvälisen naistenpäivän kuvituksiksi, joiden tarkoituksena on tehdä naisten elämää näkyväksi ja tuoda esiin arkipäiväisiä kokemuksia.
Projektissa on 16 erilaista kuvitusta naisista arkisissa tilanteissa. Olemme koonneet alle muutamia esimerkkejä, ja kunkin kuvituksen taustatarina on esitetty lainauksena kuvan alla.

All dressed uf with nowhere to go and going to Tesco
