ah, i'm challenging the religious social, cultural norms that tried to control women's bodies. deb don smith and i. e. art was freedom the monday, but i, i be late. more da is school own good i feel really lucky that i always heard music growing up. it was a life saver for me when i was a child, we were always taught and that if you were no longer a virgin,

by the time you are married, then you are worthless. and it's the same thing that also my perpetrators said when he raped me, i believe that for many, many years. and that kept me quiet for many, many years. i am got the guy i hear. i am an artist and cultural activist from indonesia. and i also a sexual assault survivor, i experience sexual violence for the 1st time when i was 6 years old. i began to have a lot of mental health issues growing up. so when i was 1314, i started a drinking using drugs with

so i broke down and then i went into recovery for my addiction in 2009. and that's when i felt that hey, this music that i have been playing, it has been tremendously helpful in healing me. what if i can use this to say something to other women who experienced what i experience so that they can be helped through my music as well? ah, yeah, but the like you will not of the bell. it log whiskey. what? yeah. plug in up names if i do me as soon as like m as in let him on vacation, but bundling will go. i that i give you back and i just that other car. take it. but if there's a good love heart, geez,

most women aren't heard. most women don't have the agency to be able to speak up. and they're not even given the platform of the space to do it. you know, and these are women who, who are screaming inside. but they're not heard. for those of us who can, we should speak up and i think it's as simple as that. ah, my name is young t smile. i'm a feminist artist based in malaysia. and i paint to women in the nude to take away the narrative from a patriarchal definition of woman's body that is sexual. that is huge, that is dirty, that is shameful. are or that can only be virginal and i reclaiming that keys and

bringing a feminist perspective. to how it looks like i art helps give you the imagination of what an alternative reality could look like. ah. they found a way to cite the may cost thought be a good boy be. if not, you know, now i walk yellow that they is hillary bigger thought thought also a little run. i'd be going to that like, it's like a bridge weekly venue. megan this year. the hand me were human yet. i had didn't have all act here. just name now don't go to the i her was gilbert. um only anyone, cousin lee absence and they've been medically with i thought i saw i saw you. hm. id be personality guy. he saw the hum. give it to

came out as a survivor, where i felt like i cannot be implicit anymore. so the lyric becomes more out words, and i feel like i have evolved a lot and i'm very proud of that. i wrote the song for 30 bass school or my body, my authority. the music video was very powerful because we asked 39 women to write statements about their own bodies on their bodies. oh, if you are a woman anywhere in the world, you struggle with having ownership of your own body because it's so objectified, i always believe that music has really, really tremendous power. we have a really big platform if we choose it to say something important, ah,

with i grew up in a family of strong women. however, existing as a malay person born into the religion of islam. of course, patriarchy is the environment that i existed with when i started to rule, as a human being in this world theme that might place in. it wasn't what i thought it should be. and that was the trigger of me trying to fight it. it's a very simple concept of painting women who aunt thin and whites and aren't necessarily able bodied i'm telling young girls that what

you are seeing and popular culture is not the only, ah, model of, of how a woman should look like. ah, ah, i realize that i have the advantage of having music as a medium for my activism because actually wisdom should be embedded in whatever it is you do. if you are a teacher, take your activism to the classroom, take it to the company as you lead, take it everywhere, the message of equality. and so what we have to change is to society. we have to make it a safe space for all of us to speak out a gauge. yeah. get i know about got me yourself. bugger.
