Bad things that went around the art industry/community that I personally had to deal with in my 10 years of being a part of it.
Don’t know how many tweets it will be, but feel invited to share your own stories too. (1/?)

There used to be a “would fuck” list going around a great many people, ranking known female artists. I was on there, and also described as : “maybe to fatt of a pig to ride their cock.” (2/?)

In my early years at an art event I was showing my portfolio to a peer I looked up to, when at a random moment, one of the people standing around us, forcefully stuffed a plastic bag with some take out vegetables in my mouth. I felt so humiliated I locked myself in a

<---- I never ever expressed any romantic intentions towards him. and always figured that his gropyness on set was a thing I should ignore and was a me-problem. I just started dating Titus and the man continued to stalk me until Titus stepped in and scared him. (7/?)
