No Longer Your Chica,
Queens Art Intervention,
New York, 2015
No Longer Your Chica is an intervention and interactive experience intended to raise awareness of the distribution of Chica cards on Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York.
Dressed in an elaborate "Chica" costume which challenges stereotypical female sexuality, artist Deborah Wasserman distributed her own version of the card, with a functioning phone number to call, to passersby. People who called the number would hear a voice mail in three languages: English, Spanish and Chinese, reciting a narrative told by a woman. It ca be read on the 'Voicemail text' page.
