Abstract
Why Loiter is a performative, feminist protest group based in Mumbai. Using strategies developed from the 2011 book of the same name, Why Loiter brings women together in public spaces to loiter as a way to normalize the sight of women taking pleasure in doing nothing. The group is part of a growing movement of young feminists using performative protests to reclaim public spaces for women.
