About the Program
Persons with mental illness have experienced the all too familiar sedating and controlling soother of pity and learned to resent and fight against pity as the determinant that furthers their oppression. In a paradoxical act of public humiliation, Irene Loughlin pisses all over pity, thus medically relieving herself.Artist
