Highlighting 'Free The Nipple Day' on Avenue A

Photo by Stacie Joy

New outside 50 Avenue A between Third Street and Fourth Street ... local artist Jim Tozzi with Bert's Tit, one of his regular characters through the years. 

Here's more about the work via an Instagram post by wall curator The Lisa Project: 
Happy Women's History Month 2023. This year we wanted to spotlight the now decade-old "Free The Nipple" campaign created by the multitalented artist/actor, equal rights activist, and snappy dresser Ms. Lina Esco. As "Free The Nipple Day" is Sunday 3/26/23. 

To celebrate we tasked Street and Sticker Artist Jim Tozzi to paint his brilliant work. His funny culture-mashing take on an iconic character, "Bert's Tit" was the perfect way to keep body equality in the conversation. 

But at the end of the day, we hope it makes you smile, laugh and remember a woman's body is hers, and hers alone…

    Awesome. Now let's free the penis with the help of Mr. Snuffleupagus. Sexualizing children's entertainment is so edgy.

    Aren't the nipples already free? Many years back?

    Cool, so groomer-pedo garbage is 'art' now. And to celebrate women's history month? Sure...

    I wish the tribute to Ray could have stayed up longer. Maybe there's another location where a permanent Ray mural could go?

    In what way does sticking a breast on a male cartoon charector remind me that a woman's body is hers alone?
