SUMMARY:Rejoinder Open Call
DESCRIPTION:Rejoinder Open Call: Issue 10\nDEADLINE: December 15\, 2024\n \nDissenting Feminisms \n\nFrom campaigns against disenfranchisement to protests against sexual and gender-based violence\, feminism has historically combined dissent—against exclusion\, subordination\, and prevailing power structures—with a focus on the imperative for social and political transformation. This issue of Rejoinder explores the history of feminist dissent and how it has shifted through the decades\, both for activists and academics. In addition to a historical focus\, we seek to address contemporary manifestations of dissent within feminism\, exploring who successfully forges narratives that challenge feminism’s dominant iteration(s)—and what accounts for their success. We ask whose feminist voices are excluded from\, or marginalized in\, prevailing feminist discourse and consider what this implies about feminism’s future. \n\nWe encourage contributions that explore feminism(s) from a wide range of positionalities\, contexts\, and geographical regions. Submissions may include essays\, commentary\, criticism\, fiction\, poetry\, and artwork. We particularly welcome contributions at the intersection of scholarship and activism. For details on manuscript preparation\, please see our website at https://irw.rutgers.edu/about-rejoinder. Rejoinder is published by the Institute for Research on Women at Rutgers University in partnership with The Feminist Art Project. Please send completed written work (2\,000-2\,500 words max — MS Word)\, jpegs of artwork\, and short bios to  irw@sas.rutgers.edu with “Rejoinder Submission” in the subject line by December 15\, 2024.

SUMMARY:Perfectly Imperfect. International Group Show  | Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:The Imperfecta Art & Design Gallery is pleased to present Perfectly Imperfect\, a group art show that features 27 artists based in the US\, UK\, Italy\, Spain\, Chile and Mexico. \nOn view from November 9th to the 31st\, the show features new original artworks by women artists Ágata Pérez\, Alexis Marcie Bomarito\, Amelia Johannsen\, Arianna Gazca\, Bea Garth\, Bernadette Fox\, Daria Loi\, Deborah Donelson\, Francesca Dalla Benetta\, Francesca Loi\, Holly de Saillan\, Jacqueline Myers-Cho\, Kate Reed\, Laura Pedrini\, Linda Tarr\, Mimma Scarpini\, Natasha Martinovic\, Rosa Henriquez\, Ruth Meijer\, Sage Kemmerlin\, Sena Clara Creston\, Sandra Alderman\, Sue Schaefer\, Strauss-McQueen\, Wynter Jones\, Zarod Rominski and Zexuan Jia. \nArtists were challenged to explore notions of imperfection and the beauty of imperfect uniqueness by creating monochromatic artworks in any medium. The 27 artworks on show include oil and acrylic paintings\, ceramic art\, art dolls\, bronze sculptures\, multimedia art\, mixed media art\, fiber art\, ink and pencil drawings and photography. \nParticipating artists Strauss-McQueen (a collaboration between Keith McQueen and Maxfield Strauss) state that “imperfection is the rest state of humanity” and “perfection is a mirage — and yet\, as humans we aspire with amusing naivety to this unattainable plane.” Their piece\, entitled Per[fiction]\, poetically demonstrates this paradox. \nCeramist Linda Tarr\, who created a standing tonal percussion instrument to celebrate imperfection\, reflects: “To assume imperfection enables risk. To notice and then be curious about the gifts of materials acting out their own character\, and accept outcomes that are unintended develops a kind of humble dignity.” \nArt doll maker Zexuan Jia created a cat that is “attempting to sew herself back together” to reflect on a painful experience using an “unserious tone\, because it is perfectly fine to be flawed and damaged as long as you still try to pull everything together even if you’re imperfect at fixing it all.” \nMultimedia artist Arianna Gazca leveraged a dark blue-gray color scheme to express the “feeling of emptiness\, of uncertainty\, and of ominous ambiguity” associated with notions of imperfection. Her moving images “blend and layer on top of one another to emphasize running thoughts and levels of anxiety” and the audio accompaniment “provides a looped effect to exemplify a moment of replaying a previous event in one’s head.” \nIn her acrylic on canvas piece\, Kate Reed explored “how even a person who is “perfect” can often only see their own perceived imperfections” and with her piece titled “Origins”\, Natasha Martinovic depicts “the moment of acceptance of oneself and one’s imperfections as a sign of individuality and self-knowledge.” \nThe above statements are but a small sample of the powerful stories and interpretations of what imperfection may mean and represent. As participating artist Amelia Johannsen well puts it: “In a world driven by ideals of perfection\, I find beauty in the flaws and irregularities that nature presents. Imperfections are not failures; they are marks of life\, evidence of growth\, resilience\, and adaptation.” \nThe show debuts on November 9 with an Opening Reception from 5 to 7pm and runs through November 31. \nAbout Imperfecta Art & Design Gallery\nimperfecta is an art & design gallery focused on elevating the work and voices of women artists and minority creatives.\nlocation: 117 6th street\, Oregon City OR 97045 USA\nweb: http://www.imperfecta.xyz

SUMMARY:DOMESTIC. video art exhibition
DESCRIPTION:”State policies and law regulations regarding women’s rights in the territories of the former Eastern Bloc maintained a conservative view of the role of women in society\, despite equal rights and formal opportunities. This generated social norms and prejudices still maintained today and contributed to the one-way association of women with the domestic space. ln the idea of the imprint of an aesthetic and some issues specific to these territories\, but also some nuanced differences\, Domestic brings together several narratives from Romania\, Serbia and Croatia at the intersection of video art and short film. Discourses invite us to dive deep into the idea of domestic in contemporary societies\, both as a physical and as a mental space\, observing the social pressure\, the dynamics of gender roles and the relationship between private and public life.\nThis vision focused exclusively on artistic practices in the sphere of the dynamic image makes it possible to outline a durational analytical perspective in order to launch an updated debate on the concept of domesticity regarding gender roles and identities\, domestic work and motherhood\, reproductive rights and responsibility\, domestic violence\, care\, autonomy and dependence and intersectionality. The project raises awareness on aspects of women’s lives that are often invisible in the public space\, such as depression and anxiety\, with the aim of emphasizing the importance of social integration of psycho-emotional dimensions such as vulnerability\, shame\, sadness and empathy. The domestic space can be a source of trauma\, an environment of comfort and recovery\, a territory of identity deconstruction and reconstruction\, a place of honesty and intimacy\, of uncomfortable confrontations and of mirroring social norms. This project joins the efforts of understanding the current context of women’s rights and equal opportunities in Romania and in other Eastern European countries from the nuanced perspective of the relationship with the present\, the historical and the political past and the mentalities\, bringing up narratives that record the impact of domestic life on women.” (curatorial statement by Olivia Nitis)

SUMMARY:DIVERSE. Poetics of Nature.
DESCRIPTION:“Diverse. Poetics of Nature is an exhibition that reveals my enormous admiration and respect for nature\, for its intuitive and spontaneous frankness. In times when everything tends to be the result of a construction: images\, what we say\, perceptions… the only thing that remains real and true\, is nature.” \n Jeannette Betancourt

SUMMARY:Llegaremos todas al mar / We will all reach the sea
DESCRIPTION:Paintings by Pamela Zubillaga\n\n\nPamela Zubillaga’s artwork reveals in a very natural way the complex and often invisible intergenerational relations between women in a clan. Her paintings capture intimate and silent moments\, which show both the weight and the beauty of these connections. From that intimacy\, she seeks to explore the generational loyalty that has united the women of her family. Zubillaga reconstructs a reality that makes color a vibrant and evocative language of identity\, a tool that reveals the links\, the hierarchies\, the secrets.\n\nFrom September 17th to October 13th\n\nvenue and organizer: AGUAFUERTE Galería\nMéxico City\n\naguafuertegaleria.com

SUMMARY:TFAP@CAA 2025 | DOP Call for Proposals
DESCRIPTION:TFAP@CAA DAY OF PANELS 2025 | CALL FOR PROPOSALS\nDEADLINE: July 31\, 2024\nSend proposals to: tfap@nationalwca.org  \nThe CAA Annual Conference is the largest convening of art historians\, artists\, designers\, curators\, and visual arts professionals. Each year CAA offer sessions submitted by members\, committees\, and affiliated societies that deliver a wide range of program content. The CAA 113th Annual Conference will take place at the New York Hilton Midtown\, New York City\, February 12–15\, 2025.\nSince 2007\, the TFAP@CAA Day of Panels has brought together exceptional groups of artists\, art historians\, curators\, and critics for a free and open to the public symposium during the annual College Art Association (CAA) Conferences. The general public\, emerging and seasoned art professionals gain access to cutting edge work and ideas of artists\, curators\, performers and scholars\, up close and through a feminist lens.\n________________________________ \nThe Feminist Art Project is now accepting proposals for the 2025 Day of Panels in NYC. The Day of Panels will take place on Saturday\, February 15\, 2025 at the Hilton Midtown\, NYC (in-person).\nTOPIC\nSCIENCE AND ART: AN EXPANSIVE FEMINIST VIEW OF THE BODY\, THE MIND\, AND THE PHYSICAL WORLD\nChair: Anonda Bell (Rutgers\, The State University of New Jersey) \nThis Day of Panels is dedicated to feminist artists utilizing science-based art making techniques\, materials\, and concepts\, to explore ideas about humanity. Sci-artists have explored the physical sciences in topics such as health and disease\, motherhood\, robotics\, technology\, and AI\, as well as the social sciences with psychological topics including the women’s temperament\, and hysteria. Sci-artists have examined how humans exist within the greater environment\, exploring eco-art practices\, and imagining the natural world as a site for both resistance and inspiration. Feminist sci-artists have cross-examined stereotypical ideas about gendered sensibilities of care and nurturing\, whether within the family\, cultural and societal realms\, and the exploration of the body as a representation of humanity and identity\, including the dissection of tropes that accompany it. The connection between art and science is not strictly one of art being subjugated as a tool to merely illustrate scientific concepts (didactic representation of data). In this important Day of Panels\, artists will demonstrate how art may be used to visualize the unseen\, wrangle with the philosophy of science\, and how art may be used to explore and communicate transcendent ideas which may defy more conventional forms of articulation. \nThe Feminist Art Project seeks proposals for presentations that investigate these topics. Please include images that may be considered with your paper.\n*Participants should be available to attend the CAA conference in-person NYC in February.* \nPlease submit the following to tfap@nationalwca.org by July 31\, 2024:\n1. A clearly worded abstract no longer than 250 words. Please include your full name\, all contact information (phone\, email\, address\, etc)\, and affiliation. Subject line: “DOP Proposal – ____(last name)\n2. Image examples to accompany your proposal (3-5)\n3. Resume or cv

SUMMARY:CONNECT
DESCRIPTION:Initially inspired by the online connections formed during the pandemic lockdown\, Stephanie Camille’s art delves into the intersections of digital and physical existence. Rooted in the introspections from her journal during the initial lonely months\, she explores those realities through metaphorical ‘windows’ using recognizable digital interfaces. Blending traditional mediums like oil and gouache\, Connect is a journey of self-discovery\, unraveling the complexities of isolation\, loneliness\, and routine. On one end\, screens trap us\, but on the other end\, we can fall in love with our only connection to the people we yearn to be physically near. \nPresented by Studio 180 Theatre and the Feminist Art Collective. Stephanie Camille is an artist currently residing in the GTA and is currently finishing up her MFA at OCAD University. Oil paint\, being Stephanie’s preferred medium\, has a ‘timeless\,’ adaptable-yet-ridged\, and romantic quality that Stephanie loves juxtaposing with her modern\, vibrant aesthetic. She has previously experimented with digital collage and interventions during the pandemic when everything was online-focused. Inspired by bright\, saturated colours\, Stephanie paints technicolour portraits that connect to her current topic of focus for her thesis: hyperfemininity and girly-girl aesthetics. Learn more about Stephanie’s work here. \nPresented in conjunction the Canadian Premiere of FOUR MINUTES TWELVE SECONDS by James Fritz and directed by Mark McGrinder.

SUMMARY:Fuego:  Women set their world on fire
DESCRIPTION:On view 4/1/24 – 5/5/24 with opening reception and artist talks Friday\, April 5\, 2024 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. \nmosaicARTs and Debra Wright Studio have joined forces to commemorate the feminist art movement. These women artists ignited a spark that inspired them to create\, build\, and establish a supportive art community for others. The collaboration aims to acknowledge the significant contributions of female artists while promoting gender equality and empowerment for women. \nIn the United States\, 51% of living visual artists are women\, yet only 13.7% of them are represented in galleries. On average\, they earn 81 cents for every dollar made by their male contemporaries. \nApropos to the exhibition title as well as the feminist art movement\, Fuego is the Spanish word for “fire.”  Women artists have to kick down doors otherwise held wide open for men and\, when we do\, there is often backlash.  Yet these misogynistic efforts aimed at undermining us catalyze our solidarity\, instead. \nCurator Debra Wright incurred such wrath when an enraged male artist doused her artwork with lighter fluid and set it ablaze in retribution.  These actions intended to derail her backfired\, generating an outpouring of support from women artists everywhere that compelled Wright to focus her future efforts furthering feminist art initiatives.  Fuego is a continuation of this commitment. \nAs we acknowledge feminist artists of today\, we also pay testament to the perseverance of those who came before us.  These actions ensure our place in history.  We cannot allow ourselves to be absent from the cultural record. \nLighting the torch for each other\, we find our way together and inspiration ignites in each of us. \nWomen set the world on fire. \nImage: Debra Wright\, Moneyshot\, undergarment and currency\, 6 x 6 x 4 inches

SUMMARY:The 6000 Circles Project
DESCRIPTION:We are The Calling. Our latest collaboration\, The 6000 Circles Project\, focuses on the circle as a symbol of balance and unity\, a never ending container of feminine energy and light. We are envisioning 6000 circles; created by a multitude of artists\, of all genders\, from around the globe\, both groups and individuals\, gathering and making for a series of interactive public and digital installations.\nThe initial inspiration came from the Obliteration Room created by Yayoi Kusama\, where people were invited to place circle stickers spontaneously throughout the exhibition space\, thereby creating an interactive and evolving installation. We would like to build upon this concept based on The Calling’s previous interactive installation as part of the Feminine Journey exhibition at the Beseder Gallery in Prague 2022. The intention is to expand its scope and reach to be a fully inclusive collaboration that honors all aspects of the feminine.

SUMMARY:The State We’re In
DESCRIPTION:Solo exhibition at Kathryn Markel Fine Arts: \nNancy Cohen’s unconventional drawings\, drawn with paper pulp and fritted glass\, find their origin in her move to Jersey City in the 1980s. Along the shore and waterways\, the evergreen vegetation thriving amid industrial waste sparked Cohen’s environmental awareness. Waterways\, as subject and imagery\, draw from personal experience and recur in her work as symbols of nature’s ability to endure adversity. In “The State We’re In\,” Cohen pursues the theme of survival\, environmentally and personally. Cohen describes her process as “thinking with her hands.” Concerns outside the studio and challenges within are explored through physically pushing the boundaries of paper and glass. The materials serve as collaborators and provocateurs\, where fused glass objects or a handmade paper are repurposed as source material and inspiration for later works. Cohen’s choices of materials and processes challenge notions of fragility and resilience. Like fritted glass undergoing transformation in a kiln\, Cohen’s work focuses on strength and beauty in the struggle for survival. \nImage: Nancy Cohen\, Breathing Under Water\, 2023 (detail)

SUMMARY:Open Call: Vote for Democracy
DESCRIPTION:SaveArtSpace has partnered with Michele Pred to bring more public art to Milwaukee\, WI during the Republican National Convention\, starting June 24\, 2024. \nCurated by Michele Pred\, this billboard art exhibition featuring five billboards in Milwaukee\, Wisconsin\, coinciding with the Republican National Convention\, which is scheduled for July 15th to 18th. The billboards will be installed prior to the convention on June 24th and remain until July 22nd\, a few days after its close. \nThe overarching theme of the exhibit is the “preservation of democracy.” Autocracy and the reactionary\, racist ideas that go with it are on the march in the US and across the globe. They are given voice almost daily by the leader of the Republican Party and his minions\, even as the majority of Americans oppose their policies. To stop this surge of fear and hate\, we must make sure that our system does not devolve further. Only then can we continue the fight for an expanded democracy. Inviting persuadable voters to this conversation on one of the largest media stages of the year is a huge opportunity to do just that. \nThe selection process will focus not only on the artistic merits of the work but also on the clarity of the message and its potential to influence moderately conservative voters to support candidates and issues that expand reproductive rights. To this end\, incorporating text is encouraged but not required. \nWe invite artists of all ages and talents to submit their artwork between March 18 and May 13\, 2024. This is an opportunity to have your work placed on billboard ad space in Milwaukee\, WI. Three artists will be chosen from the open call\, they will join Michele Pred\, and Lena Wolff on billboards throughout Milwaukee\, WI. \nOpen call for art ends May 13\, 2024. There is a $10 donation per image submission to participate\, each donation is tax deductible and goes to producing the public art. Selected artists will be announced after May 27\, 2024. Public art will be installed June 24\, 2024 in New York City.

SUMMARY:TFAP@CAA Day of Panels 2024 | A NEW ERA: ART\, ACTIVISM\, AND ABORTION IN POST ROE AMERICA
DESCRIPTION:A New Era:  Art\, Activism and Abortion in Post Roe America \nTFAP@CAA Day of Panels 2024\nFebruary 17\, 2024\, 9am – 3pm\nHilton Chicago – 3rd Floor – Waldorf Room \nA New Era:  Art\, Activism and Abortion in Post Roe America \nSymposium Chair: Luciana McClure\, Southern Connecticut State University \nIn 2022\, Dobbs v. Jackson overturned the right to abortion in the U.S.\, undermining bodily autonomy and privacy. The Feminist Art Project (TFAP) looks at the way praxis as a feminist pedagogical project has changed and been transformed post Roe V. Wade. Artists have returned to the question of the role of feminist art and practice in times of crisis and violence\, particularly around issues of bodily autonomy. As a result\, we have seen a rise of collective solidarity between cis\, queer and trans women artists and collectives leading to the surge of a new wave of feminism. \nTFAP@CAA Day of Panels looks at feminist collective projects that remind us that the personal is political and that feminism is intersectional. TFAP will look critically at how artists\, scholars and organizers respond to this attack on human rights and the patriarchal rhetoric about abortion and its relationship to bodily autonomy. \nPROGRAM:\n9am – 9:30am\nWelcome – Connie Tell\, Chair\, Feminist Art Project National Committee\nIntroduction – Luciana McClure\, Symposium Chair\, (Southern Connecticut State University)\n9:30am – 10:30am\nKeynote talk – Whitney Bradshaw (Independent Artist)\n11:00am – 12:00pm\nAdvocacy to Action: The Power of Activism\, Abortion and Community Engagement\nPanelists: Lydia Nobles (Independent Artist) and Michele Pred (Independent Artist)\n12:30pm – 1:30pm\nThe Politics of Identity & the Body as Medium in Feminist Practice\nPanelists: Corey Loftus (The Institute of Fine Arts\, NYU)\, Martha Poggioli (Colorado College)\, and Sarah Beth Woods (Independent Artist)\n2:00pm – 3:00pm\nClosing Keynote & Call to Action Christen Clifford (The New School) \nVideos of the 2024 Day of Panels will be available on the TFAP website soon! \nTFAP is a Caucus Member of the National Women’s Caucus for Art.

SUMMARY:TFAP@CAA Affiliated Society Session | CHOICE TACTICS: ART\, ABORTION\, AND BODILY AUTONOMY TODAY
DESCRIPTION:TFAP@CAA Affiliated Society Session\nCAA 112th Annual Conference\nFriday\, February 16\, 2024\, 2:30pm – 4pm\nChicago Hilton | 8th Floor – Lake Erie\nConference Registration required for this event!\nCHOICE TACTICS: Art\, Abortion\, and Bodily Autonomy Today\nChairs: Miriam Kienle (University of Kentucky) and Connie Tell (The Feminist Art Project) \nHow do contemporary feminist artists\, art historians\, critics\, and curators address current legal restrictions to abortion access? How do they draw from or push against historical precedents for art about reproductive choice and bodily autonomy? Although acknowledging the tremendous historical harm done\, much present-day art about abortion draws on old visual tropes of clothes hangers and irrevocably marred bodies that has little resonance to the risks posed by the criminalization of abortion today. This imagery not only ignores how ending pregnancy is far safer than it was 50 years ago due to widely accessible medications for menstrual management after abortion became legal\, but it also inadvertently echoes anti-choice propaganda that emphasizes self-harm as integral to abortion. Therefore\, one must ask: How do feminist artists today visualize bodily autonomy\, self-managed menstruation\, and abortion in ways that refuse inaccurate\, outdated\, and punishing representations in favor of ones that are accurate\, informative\, and supportive (perhaps even playful\, joyous\, frustrated\, outraged\, or irreverent)? How might they forge intergenerational solidarities by re-activating historical modes of resistance that avoid nostalgia? How do they educate both menstruating and non-menstruating publics to transform political discourse on abortion? How can they help empower abortion seekers to have their physical\, emotional\, spiritual\, financial\, and/or legal needs met? This panel seeks presentations that investigate the visual and material tactics of feminist art that tackles abortion\, particularly those that attend to the complex gender\, sexual\, racial\, ethnic\, geographic\, historical\, medical\, legal\, and/or economic implications of abortion today. \nPanelists:\nBeau Green (Artist + Full Spectrum Careworker)\nbreadbox: promoting access to high quality abortion care throughpeer-to-peer education and art \nBasia Sliwinska (Universidade Nova de Lisboa)\nMy body (but not) my choice: feminist arts activism towards bodily autonomy \nErin L. McCutcheon (University of Rhode Island)\nPerforming the Politics of Voluntary Motherhood in Mexico City \nLouisa Lee (Buckinghamshire New University)\n‘What you want to do is make people look’: Visibility\, or lack of visibility\, for reproductive rights

SUMMARY:The Brodsky Center at Rutgers University: Three Decades\, 1986–2017
DESCRIPTION:Rutgers Distinguished Professor Emerita Judith K. Brodsky\, a visionary artist and advocate\, arts administrator and entrepreneur\, printmaker\, and scholar\, recognized that women and gender nonconforming artists\, as well as artists of color\, were excluded from the art world in the 1980s. Brodsky’s pioneering vision set out to rectify the situation by establishing in 1986 a print- and papermaking residency center for these artists\, now known as the Brodsky Center. From its inception\, the Center strategically placed itself at the vanguard of art making\, not only with print and papermaking techniques but also with the innovation of new ideas and narratives as a model for institutional and artworld diversity\, equity\, and inclusion. \nThe Brodsky Center\, with state-of-the-art facilities\, was the site of experiments with concepts that emerged in the 21st century as dominant concerns of artists in the contemporary art world: race and ethnic identity\, nonconforming gender issues\, climate and the environment\, the politics of language\, and immigration. The Center encouraged artists to explore how working in what were often for them the new processes of print and paper could expand their previous realms of thought. While at Rutgers University\, the Brodsky Center served as a catalyst for cultural transformation in New Jersey\, in the United States\, and worldwide. It continues to do so at its present location in Philadelphia\, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. \nThe artworks on view in this exhibition are illustrative of new imagery and artistic languages now incorporated into contemporary art making in the 21st century. The exhibition is thematically conceived\, exemplifying the Brodsky Center’s mission to insert new narratives into the American cultural mainstream. Five representative artworks\, as emblems that capture the essence of the Brodsky Center\, have been singled out for placement at the entrance to the exhibition. The works on view are then organized into nine other sections: Cultural Vitality and Social Justice\, Documenting Place: Real and Imagined\, Escaping the Unitary Linear\, Icons and Symbols\, Innovations\, Looking at the Portrait\, The Sages\, Tribulations and Endings\, and Visualizing Texts. \nOrganized by Ferris Olin\, Distinguished Professor Emerita\, Rutgers University
