mission STATEMENT: 

The mission of THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE is to provide participants with the auditory experience of being on the receiving end of catcalling in order to promote understanding and stop the misogynistic patterns that have become embedded in our culture.

A Note from founder, Terra Lopez: 

THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE was created with the hopes of promoting a long lasting conversation as to how we can crush and destroy the culture of catcalling. It is an educational tool; an experience that I hope affects men and forces them to re-think what our society has taught and allowed for so long. It is also a hope of mine that more men step up and address this with their friends. I just want the conversations to be had - maybe it will change some men's minds and help create a safer world for women.

THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE debuted at Art Street in Sacramento, CA on February 3, 2022 and within three weeks had an estimated 32,000 people experience the exhibit. My goal with TIWIFL is to create a traveling exhibit so people from all over the world can experience this.
