Sometimes you gotta bring back a classic to remind people to love one another. To Tehran with Love is back at @littlecupcakebakeshop in Nolita. Many thanks to Sal & the crew there!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕 #annlewis #littlecupcakebakeshop #streetart #soho #nyc #nolita #classics #gilfnyc (at Little Cupcake Bakeshop)

When we all stand together we are unstoppable. Here's a W.I.P. of @lsarsour to honor her today in International Women's Day for her leadership, strength, and fierce dedication to justice. Many thanks to @activistnyc for allowing me to use your amazing photograph! and yes I changed my handle from @gilfnyc. Today is a day to honor myself and my work by owning my name. While the feminist statement of gilf gets lost on most it will always been an important aspect to my practice and identity. I no longer wish to use a moniker- let's be honest there's no need- I am powerful, even more so, as Ann Lewis. #lindasarsour #internationalwomensday #feminist #activistart #annlewis #gilfnyc #collage (at Detroit)

Autoincarceration (2014) A month long performance piece in which I wore a standard issue inmate jumpsuit everyday all day to protest mass incarceration. Engaging with strangers and my community I discussed the problems and injustices within our criminal justice system and hopefully taught people as much as I learned. Wow how time flies. • This is a still from the @streetheroines documentary from way back then. So inspired by Alex's dedication to such a massive and long project. I can't wait to see the finished piece! • #gilfnyc #streetheroines #massincarceration #autoincarceration #brooklyn

Sometimes you gotta go big Thanks to @jeegunkim for putting together this never seen footage of that infamous night at 5 Pointz before it was demolished and turned into overpriced "luxury" condos. #gilfnyc #BAMN #5pointz #ak #gentrificationinprogress (at Save 5 Pointz)

@rebeccaminkoff X @gilfnyc • A collaboration for good • Proceeds of the jackets sold go to Not on Our Watch Project founded by @donaldcheadle @george_clooney and @bradpitt.official which is committed to robust advocacy and research in support of global human rights. ✌🏽️ making a difference thru fashion- never thought I'd see the day. •Proud. Honored. Excited for what's next. • •#rebeccaminkoff #gilfnyc #notonourwatch #nyfw

I recently chatted with @davidjenison fron @prohbtd about my new piece ...and counting, here's a blurb. Check out the link in my bio for the full story. ☝🏽️ • "I read a paper released by someone working for the Department of Homeland Security that stated the average police officer only gets six hours of training to learn how deal with people with mental health issues. That's nowhere near enough time. They don't know what they're doing. That must change." • The piece is up until Sept 24 during @raceandrevolution on governors island. Go check it out! • #gilfnyc #annlewis #raceandrevolution #truthtopower #policebrutality #prohbtd

May we rise above the divisive rhetoric. May we see peace in our communities, unity, and dramatic reforms in policing strategies. This only happens when we press for change. We must demand it with relentless passion and determination. The country is unraveling before our eyes. Now is the time to push change that saves lives, heals our collective wounds, and ends systemic racism and murder. #gilfnyc

These 49 people marched in silence for the duration of the Pride Parade to honor all 49 victims of the Orlando massacre. Their energy continues to push us to create reforms, to build stronger, more powerful communities that accept everyone. We have incredible, beautiful work to do. This piece has changed me in ways I don't understand yet. I've never been so moved when creating, ever. Have you ever hand written murder victims names down? It sounds dark I know but try it, by hand. It will change you for the better. Understand who they were, imagine their stories. Know that they had families and lovers and communities and lives. They were people just like you and me.
