‘Pussy Hut’ in Toronto pays tribute to women’s movement symbol with massive tuque
TORONTO — A massive pink tuque has taken over a stretch of a Toronto beach a year after thousands of protesters donned bright pink hats to protest gender inequality.
Dubbed the “Pussy Hut,” the warm-and-fuzzy attraction is inspired by the colourful symbol of women’s marches that emerged after last year’s inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump.
The art piece is part of an annual competition called Winter Stations staged along Lake Ontario in the city’s east-end.
Organizers say this year’s theme is “Riot” and that they chose to include the “Pussy Hut” for its message of hope.
