Per https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/sho...postcount=1787

A protest/art piece:
"Set Design for Screen at Wimbledon College of Arts are using the shower as a tutorial room. If like us, you find this to be unacceptable, please sign our petition. change.org/p/natalie-wearden-a-shower-is-not-an-office
At 15:00 on Friday 4th November 2016, in response to the ongoing performance of the shower as an office by Set Design for Screen, Natalie ******* and Indigo ********** occupied this shower as a form of protest against the misuse of showers. Please show your support for the correct use of showers everywhere.
A shower is not an office.
An office is not a shower.
Using a shower as an office takes away it's true function as a shower.
The context of a shower is only that which contains the act of showering.
It is feared that if a shower is used as an office, the shower may forget how to be a shower.
The shower was first patented in 1767 by William Feetham in Ludgate Hill, London.
To use a shower as an office in the city of the showers birth could threaten the status of all showers.
Showers are more popular than baths as they use less water.
It is our intention to reclaim this shower by returning it's original function." vimeo.com/194722205

(btw it's still apparently up at v, though private; after it went that way I posted https://forum.oneclickchicks.com/sho...4&postcount=32 )
