Whitney Bradshaw
OUTCRY
January 20, 2018 to Present
Since 2018, Whitney Bradshaw has been traveling across the United States with OUTCRY, a social practice project for which she leads womxn in empowering, therapeutic and community building scream sessions photographing participants mid-scream to create a collective portrait of resistance, motivate political action, and build feminist solidarity through radical empathy.
OUTCRY scream sessions give women, non-binary, and genderqueer people permission and a brave place to take up space and be loud. Many participants share stories they’ve never told anyone; some scream for the first time ever. And the resulting photographs — exhibited in floor-to-ceiling grids, carried as larger-than-life portraits at protests, or mounted on billboards and projected in public spaces — present women’s unbridled self-expression without regard to society’s expectations.
As restrictions on reproductive choice and LGBTQ+ rights spread around the nation, OUTCRY brings transformation, amplifying women’s voices with an unflinching belief in their power to make both personal and political change. To date more than 500 women have participated in OUTCRY. Together their portraits create a monumental act of resistance.
