Milo Moiré Arrested in London; Laura Lima Faces Complaint Over Miami Performance

Swiss artist Milo Moiré was arrested in London for her performance 'Mirror Box,' in which she wore a mirrored box covering her genitals with a slit, inviting passersby to touch her. She aimed to protest for women's freedom to choose when to be touched without coercion. Police intervened, taking her to the station. Meanwhile, a less publicized but equally controversial story emerged from the ICA Miami, where Brazilian artist Laura Lima's performance 'The Inverse' led to a complaint. Two models, Kayla Delacerda and an anonymous woman, alleged they were instructed to self-penetrate with a nylon rope end during the performance, offered finger condoms and lubricant. Delacerda refused; the other complied and reported trauma. Lima and ICA director Ellen Salpeter denied any pressure, stating participants were only required to wear a costume and could make autonomous decisions.
