Micol Hebron is an assistant professor of the department of Art at Chapman University. Micol has taught art to every level of education from kindergarden to University. Micol also is a well known feminist that has done many protests and is well know for being the creator of the male nipple template.
The art I have seen from Micol is mostly pictures and some contain some cleavage. This is because her current work is on addressing how ideas of essentialist feminism and central core imagery open new dialogues in comtemporary art. Her recent photos taken have been aimed to art history, humor, and intiate body imagery to explore how the female body can create positions and images of empowerment. These pictures come with a powerful message behind them.
One photo I remember Micol showed us which caught be completely by surprise is where she was in the desert and she took a picture where her pubes looked like the bush in the background and I guess she just felt like that bush looked like her pubes and wanted a picture. Another one is her with no top on at a cafe in 2011 and she did that to express how she feels about her body and how comfortable she is and how it should be normalized.
This experience has been the most memoriable artist conversation that I’ve had so far. The work she created I have seen before but had no clue she was the creator and is an artist and works as an assistant professor. This all amazed me seeing the protests she did and her work on feminism. I did enjoy the conversation, nothing was boring each slide brought something new.
