Just seen this scrolling on a bus stop on our High Street.

Tried tweeting about it, but the tweets just disappeared within seconds, which felt a bit sinister.

Who are these people, and where are they getting the money to promote such mediocre pish?

I look forward to the question "what is a man? There is no one definition..." Sexist twats.

There is no single or simple definition of a woman. Adult female human

What percentage do you reckon will be the cunty type of women versus the new ones, you know, the ones with penises.

From the website

' The Gallery is the UK’s largest public exhibition. Thought-provoking artworks take over thousands of billboards and digital screens across over 30 towns and cities in the UK. Prominent contemporary names have been commissioned, such as 2024 Jarman-nominee Sin Wai Kin, filmmaker Joanna Hogg and the 2023 Aesthetica Art Prize-winner Larry Achiampong. It’s a far-reaching event that brings people together to explore the key debates affecting our times. Past editions have posed the question No But Where Are You Really From? (2023), reflected on The State We’re In (2023) and interrogated the Straight White Male (2022).

Now, The Gallery unveils its fourth project with the theme: A Real Woman. Curator Bakul Patki explains: “I felt it crucial that this was not seen as a question to be answered, but rather a statement to be considered. There is no single or simple definition of a woman. I hope the different perspectives presented by our artists will inspire viewers to consider the plurality of the female experience and thereby encourage understanding and empathy towards those whose lives are shaped differently from their own.” The 11 creatives commissioned share a variety of perspectives, exploring everything from feminism and gender identity to health disparities and home life. Here, we spotlight some of the pieces coming to you soon'

I love the idea of using billboards to display art. I think it will be interesting and hopefully provoke some conversations.
