On 8 March 2012, International Womens Day,

the Nude Photo Revolutionaries Calendar

violence, racism, sexism, sexual harassment and hypocrisy:

was launched in homage to Egyptian atheist, student and blogger Aliaa Magda Elmahdy who posted a nude photo of herself, announcing the post on Twitter under the hashtag, #NudePhotoRevolutionary. She described her statement as screams against a society of

put on trial the artists models who posed nude for art schools until the early 70s, hide the art books and destroy the nude statues of antiquity, then undress and stand before a mirror and burn your bodies that you despise to forever rid yourselves of your sexual hangups before you direct your humiliation and chauvinism and dare to try to deny me my freedom of expression.
At a time when free expression and womens rights and bodies are under attack by Islamism and the religious-right, nudity is an important form of resistance and defiance. The women in this calendar stand firm in solidarity with Aliaa Magda Elmahdy and the countless women across the world who are denied basic rights, freedoms and dignity.

The Calendar is the brainchild of Maryam Namazie and has been designed by Sonya JF Barnett.
