We’re thrilled to showcase the art of Perry Dani

We’re thrilled to showcase the art of Perry Danis (@perry.danis) in our window this month! 💋 💋
The piece, entitled “Smile for me, Honey”, is a response to the gendered power play that exists in public spaces. There’s a buzzing anger inside a coerced smile, even if it looks like dripping sweetness.
