Description
"NASTY" an International Exhibition, curated by Karen GutfreundWith a nod to President Elect Donald Trump's misogynistic tenets, "NASTY" is an exhibition for and about those who challenge patriarchy and refuse to stay silent, creating a groundswell revolt with women artists who dare to speak up and speak out.In this turbulent time of political changes, women's rights, social, racial, gender and economic inequality and reproductive choice/health care issues are all under attack. Rooted in a strong feminist foundation, the exhibition uses art to advocate for political, economic, and social equality for all addressing topics like violence against women, reproductive rights, identity and gender roles, beauty and sexuality, and empowerment, committing to a vision of equal rights, freedom, and opportunities with lives free from want, fear, and violence. The works of the 12 female artists seek to influence cultural attitudes and incite the viewer to question the social and political landscape, and through this questioning, affect the world and incite change toward equality.This curated exhibition includes the following artists: Emily Dvorin,Sally Edelstein, Alyssa Eustaquio, Karen Gutfreund, Yolanda Guerra, Judy Johnson-Williams, Beth Lakamp, Sarah Maple, Tanya Nolan, Priscilla Otani, Jessica Putnam Phillips, Spooky Boobs Collective, Colette Standish, Morgan Ford Willingham and Meghan Willis.
