(thanks, Bridget!)
Challenging representations of women of colour in art
Are you a woman of colour artist? Are you looking to speak out against
the oppressive representations of women of colour in art?
We are looking for women of colour who are painters or photographers to participate in an exercise of strategic approximation. Selected artists will be required to
produce a subversive reproduction of a canonic work of art in which you feel
women of colour have been unfairly represented. Your painting or photograph will be an
approximation of a work of art reproduced from a feminist and anti-racist perspective with minor or major modifications that highlight the patriarchy and/or racism of the original piece.
The artwork will be exhibited at the
Please send a one-page proposal of the artwork you hope to exhibit along
with a portfolio or slides of your work to:
Meera Karunananthan
700-170 Laurier Ave West
We welcome contributions from women artists from aboriginal, African, Asian and other minority communities. Please note that we will give greater consideration to the content proposed than to the experience and technical skills of the artist.
Deadline: Wednesday, December 19, 2007
For more information, please contact Meera Karunananthan at mkaru021@uottawa.ca
