“I believe in using words, not fists... I believe in my outrage knowing people are living in boxes on the street. I believe in honesty. I believe in a good time. I believe in good food." Bertrand Russell

“Women Are Heroes”, JR’s street gallery in Sierra Leone, Liberia

French photographer known simply as JR is back with a new public art project dedicated to women. “Women are Heroes” is a multimedia project dedicated to women in developing countries. They asked women to tell their stories, many of them horrific, and later asked them to make faces for a portrait.

The faces force the viewer to rethink and reconsider the millions of nameless women in countries like Sierra Leone, Liberia, Kenya, etc. These women have a story.

But this is not a story about death, rather it is a celebration of women, survival, and life.

“Women are heroes” won a 2011 Ted Prize, and premiered at the Cannes film festival in 2010.

Walt Whitman

I CELEBRATE myself, and sing myself, 
And what I assume you shall assume, 
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

I loafe and invite my soul, 
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.

Walt Whitman - Song of Myself

Quote reblogged from teaching literacy. with 378 notes

She entered the story knowing she would emerge from it feeling she had been immersed in the lives of others, in plots that stretched back twenty years, her body full of sentences and moments, as if awaking from sleep with a heaviness caused by unremembered dreams.
— Michael Ondaatje (via flentes)

Pretty much my life.

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature — the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after winter.
Rachel Carson (via misswallflower)
