Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse
Explore how female artists, using textiles as their medium, subvert the social expectations of crafting by lambasting this soft medium with social and political awareness. A powerful vehicle for fostering discussion, this exhibit centers female voices as they reflect on subjects like the right to vote, reproductive rights, and the intersection of femininity, race, history and feminist socio-politics.
Featuring artists from the Contemporary Art Modern Project (CAMP) show in 2020, and in partnership with Fiber Arts Miami Association (FAMA) this exhibit incorporates art by national and local artists who are at the forefront of social discourse.
Opening: Thursday, Septemter 7, 2023, 7 pm
Curated by The CAMP Gallery, Melanie Prapopoulos and Maria Gabriela DiGiammarco
Artists: Amy Gelb, Alina Rodriguez Rojo/ Damian Rojo/ Aurora Molina, Evelyn Politzer, Jeanne Jaffe/ Molly McGreevey, Lisu Vega, Rosana Machado Rodriguez, Shelly Mc Coy
