“Vandal - Words” is a mixed media artwork 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. “Vandal - Words,” like many of MissMe’s artworks, uses scale and a greyscale color palette to portray powerful women as she both criticizes and challenges the societal pressures placed on women’s bodies. In “Vandal - Words,” the subject's entire body is shown as she sits in a reclined position and makes direct eye contact with the viewer while wearing the artist’s signature mouse-eared ski mask. The style and content of the text scrawled across the figure further expresses the artist’s anger and frustration at the relentless objectification, censorship, and control of women’s bodies. This unique piece on board measures 60 inches tall by 42 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.
