Grit & Gloss: A Double Bill of MudFlap Girl and Strawberry Pie

This double bill is rooted in roadside culture, truck stops, diners, and
long-haul travellers.

Mudflap Girl
In 1971, an iconic image of a silhouetted woman
started appearing on truck mudflaps. Mudflap Girl has at different times
been considered a reflection of male self-image, symbolic of declining
family values, and a feminist figure. What is her story? And most
mysteriously, who is she?

Strawberry Pie
At an all-night diner, three women from
different eras of sex work have a moment of shared recognition. They
have all worked to be seen, but have struggled to be visible.
