Anonymous Artist Expands Street Installation Honoring Influential Women
Last April, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was just beginning to be felt. As Seattle residents sheltered in their homes and businesses closed their doors for an unknown amount of time, an artist took to the streets in Columbia City to bring a bit of brightness to a dark and scary moment. Neon-framed, hand-drawn portraits of influential women like Michelle Obama, Lindy West, and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez began appearing on telephone poles throughout the South Seattle neighborhood, each featuring an inspirational quote from the figure. The installation, “That’s What She Said 206” was created by a local artist who wishes to remain anonymous. This March, in celebration of Women’s History Month, the artist expanded the installation, hanging new portraits and highlighting a different female leader each day on their Instagram page @thatswhatshesaid206.
