Herds of “Milked” Women Challenge the Dairy Industry in Several World Cities
VeganFTA • Mar 29, 2025
On International Women's Day, a performance art piece titled "Milk is NOT Human(e)" took place across more than 20 art institutions worldwide, including the Tate Modern in London. The provocative display featured groups of topless women mirroring the conditions endured by dairy cows, shedding light on the exploitation of female reproductive systems in the dairy industry. Artist Stephanie Lane, founder of SPECIESISM.WTF, emphasized the importance of art institutions in addressing speciesism and animal rights, challenging them to reflect modern cultural views and inspire change for all beings and the future of the planet.

Founded in 2023, SPECIESISM.WTF focuses on dismantling speciesism through the arts by utilizing generative AI and modern technologies. The organization creates large-scale billboard artwork, performance installations, and short films that challenge societal norms regarding the treatment of non-human animals. Lane's art installations have engaged global audiences and highlighted the inequality afforded to farmed animals and the cruelty of the food chain, encouraging viewers to rethink their perspectives on animal welfare.
