Missme - Art As Resistance
Feminist street art that disrupts, questions, and claims space
MissMe is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans painting, large-scale street interventions, directing, and public speaking. She first gained recognition through provocative, defiant wheatpastes that confront feminism, power and the politics of visibility -art that doesn’t ask for space, but takes it.
At the centre of MissMe’s practice is the female body. Her iconic Vandals - stark black-and-white depictions of naked women - deliberately disrupt how women are seen, consumed and framed. These figures are not decorative; they are confrontational. They challenge objectification, expose exploitation, and challenge how women’s bodies are controlled, consumed, and commodified.
Her visual language blends realism with abstraction, discipline with chaos. The result is work that is immediately arresting, yet lingers long after - forcing viewers to sit with discomfort rather than look away.
In her Selfie series, MissMe turns inward, using abstract self-portraits to explore the relentless scrutiny placed on women’s appearances. These works reveal vulnerability, anger and resistance - emotions rarely afforded space in public life. Across her practice, the message is clear and uncompromising: the empowerment of women.
Working in the tradition of feminist artivism, MissMe uses the street as both canvas and battleground. She urges women to reclaim public space, assert agency and refuse erasure. Her large-scale wheatpastes - elegant, explosive and sometimes unsettling - swallow buildings whole, confronting questions of dignity, race, gender, class and power.
As her work continues to surface in public spaces across cities, MissMe has channelled its momentum into a wider movement, amplifying marginalised voices, uplifting women as role models, and insisting on their place at the centre of cultural and political life.
