In a court case earlier this year, an art installation at Hobart’s Museum of Old and New Art that was designed to playfully poke at the historic and ongoing disadvantages faced by women was found to be discriminatory.MONA’s Ladies Lounge was a small, private room within the museum, bordered by silk green curtains and open only to those who identify as “ladies”.MONA is appealing the decision, arguing that men weren’t being rejected from the lounge, but rather their rejection was an experience of the artwork itself.Today, contributor to The Saturday Paper Gabriella Coslovich on the Ladies Lounge saga, and what happens when discrimination is the entire point.Socials: Stay in touch with us on Twitter and InstagramGuest: Contributor to The Saturday Paper, Gabriella Coslovich.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
