“Social Media Censorship Series 1” is by the activist, feminist, and street artist MissMe, an anonymous “Artful Vandal” based in Montreal, Canada. Her bold, striking work amplifies marginalized voices and focuses on themes of race, class, gender, and societal norms. “Social Media Censorship Series 1” uses scale and a greyscale color palette to portray the power of her subject, as she both criticizes and challenges the pressures and restrictions placed on women’s bodies by social media. In this artwork, MissMe’s subject wears the artist's iconic mouse-eared ski mask.  As the photographs progress, so does the imposing censor bar, which, by the last photograph, covers everything but the subject's ears and shoes. Through “Social Media Censorship Series 1,” MissMe comments on society's relentless objectification, censorship, and control of women’s bodies. This unique photograph tetraptych measures 24 inches tall by 18 inches wide and features the artist’s signature.

Dubbed by Vice as Montreal’s premier art vandal, MissMe has been busy wheatpasting, preaching, and taking no prisoners. Her explosive style draws you in, but it’s the amplification of marginalized voices in her bright, powerful works that gives you something to take away. MissMe’s unapologetic pieces command attention in sharp tones, exploring her own struggles with race, gender, society, and class while uplifting icons of the past. Her compelling, elegant, and sometimes unsettling large-scale wheatpastes swallow buildings whole, confronting issues of dignity - and forcing us to reconsider our own truths. Rarely in any city for more than a few months at a time, the Artful Vandal has channeled the momentum of her art’s global success toward a new movement, passionately advocating for women as role models and pivotal members of their communities.
