e v e - t e a s i n g ?

Blank - that which is not allowed meaning, form or articulation.

Noise - that which heightens, builds itself.

'Eve Teasing' in India is considered a joke or prank.
Blank Noise is a public and participatory arts project that seeks to explore street dynamics and recognize 'eve teasing' as street sexual harassment or violence.

Do you accept it because you expect it?

Blank Noise is a public and participatory arts project begun in August 2003 with a small group of 9 participants. Conceived as a personal reaction to street sexual harassment, the project has grown through workshops and local volunteers to a five-city, hundred-plus volunteer project that seeks to address street sexual violence through dialogue made possible as a result of sustained public interventions.
