Aurora Lady is an art making Feminasty! She's been creating her grrrl-centric art and zines since she put on her first pair of combat boots in the '90's. Her world is dripping with glitter and angry knuckle tattoos and we're sat down to chat about how to actively integrate your ethics and beliefs into what you create, whether that's through your business or a trip to your grocery store.
