WASHINGTON (ABC7) — This fall, National Mall visitors might be surprised to find a giant sculpture of a naked woman near the Washington Monument. If the organizers’ permit is approved, the sculpture would become a temporary fixture, allowed to stand there for four months.
For a third year, organizers of Catharsis on the Mall, similar to the Burning Man festival in Nevada, plan to bring music, art and activism to the National Mall over Veteran’s Day weekend.
But as first reported by DCist, this year’s centerpiece will be a 45-foot tall sculpture called R-Evolution. Organizers plan to keep the sculpture on the Mall long after the festival ends, from November through March, hoping she inspires a conversation about equality and safety for women.
Organizer Sanam Emami said, “She’s standing there radiating her energy out to the world, with no apologies and no excuses, just as how she is. Completely present.”
The plan is for the sculpture to be facing north toward the White House. But the organizers said this positioning is not necessarily about President Trump.
“She means many different things for different people,” Emami said.
Many tourists on the Mall said they would welcome a giant sculpture of the female form.
“I think that’s amazing. We should be proud of our bodies,” said Roenee Jones.
“My recommendation would be maybe 10 or 12 [sculptures] representing every body type of women, not just some Barbie-type thing,” added Janice Gutierrez.
But Quenisha Sparks calls the whole idea “absurd.”
“I feel like this is more of a family-oriented place and I just don’t think it’s the right statue to put up,” Sparks said.
There’s even worry this will become a distraction for the President.
“We don’t need that because [President Trump] is going to say something about it on Twitter,” said Quinlan Jones. “We don’t need him tweeting about anything else.”
The National Park Service said no permit has been issued yet. The application for a four month-long vigil event is still under review.
Park Service spokesperson Mike Litterst said, “They do have the requirement of having at least one person with it at all times. You can’t abandon structures or property as part of the vigil.”
Organizers are seeking vigil volunteers. They are also crowdfunding, so far raising more than $11,000 with a $90,000 goal.

Oh brother!!
The hair has to go, boy hair.
They are taking down confederate statues
And putting up statues of naked women
Yep sounds about right
Next will be the feminists bitching about some aspect of this statue
If this world ever quits spinning for a second I’m jumping off
There is no gravity, the earth SUCKS!
And I thought you were a “flat earther”… 😉
(And how do you do a “sarcasm” font?)
Lol
AN OBVIOUS REFLECTION OF THE “TRASHING” OF AMERICA, BORED COMMUNIST WASTING MONEY PROVING TO YOU THAT THEY HAVE “WON”.
AND THEY HAVE IF LAWLESSNESS IS ANY INDICATION,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Yes, galen. Exactly what I had in mind. They are constantly putting satanic statues up, both secretive and in our faces. Snarky mf’s for sure.
Osiris and Isis
The Washington monument being the missing phallus.
I’m gonna have to scream, “RACISM!” here…that woman needs to be black with more booty. Oh, and with one raised fist….and an afro.
🙂

Oh Man, this is social engineering flyin’ down a speed-way, a burgeoning of Burning Man comin’ right to ya. From the desert to your shopping mall. And soon to libraries and little-league fields. Burnin’ down culture and heritage, burnin’ down beauty and wholesomeness. Forced Art, like it or not, in the public square. Be there or be square. I’d rather be square than programmed or coerced. The statue…Shove it.

Syria looks better every day. Syriausly.
Awaiting your funny comment, flee…
And also awaiting how the “trannies” respond to this…will Tranny Antifa demand this nonsense be taken down because it’s only female?
By the time they’re done, near two hundred statues will have to be erected. None will be beautiful.
