“SHE SLAPS 2.0” at Haggin Museum (CA, USA)

SHE SLAPS 2.0! Street Art Stickers by Women Artists from Around the World will be presented the Haggin Museum in Stockton, CA, from June 6 through August 18, 2024.

SHE SLAPS 2.0! features over 596 street art stickers by 118 contemporary women artists from 22 countries around the world. Drawn from the private collection of Oliver Baudach, founder and director of Hatch Kingdom Sticker Museum in Berlin, Germany, the exhibition includes stickers individually drawn, painted, and/or printed by the artists, as well as silkscreen, offset, and digital designs that were printed in larger runs through commercial services.

In 2019, Baudach sent out a worldwide call-for-entries for new stickers to add to the original SHE SLAPS exhibition and to St. Lawrence University’s Street Art Graphics digital archive. A second worldwide call was issued in 2023 for the 2.0 edition of the exhibition.

The exhibition includes portraits of women and men, fanciful “character design” creatures, and various images and text that function as artists’ “tags.” Female personas represented in the exhibition range from dolls, punks, and riot grrls to femmes fatales and leading ladies. A handful of artists address political subjects, with one artist using photos of her cat Illchmann as a spoof on “Grumpy Cat” in order to comment on sexism, racism, and gun violence. 

The exhibition organizers also noted that the stickers in the show, with few exceptions, exclude images of violence, skulls, or military-related themes often found in stickers by some male artists. Several artists contributed works that are part of an ongoing global campaign called “Streetart Against Hate: To Live and Let Live,” in which artists can download circular templates with text in different languages and design their own stickers.

When asked, many artists in the exhibition indicated that identifying as a female affected their work, while others felt that gender and sexuality did not play a role. All of the artists indicated a strong sense of solidarity among street artists in general, however, whether male or female.
