Corrective Lenses

Meera Karunananthan, 15.01.2008 - 00:00
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 artists 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 work will be an approximation of a famous 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. Our preference is for two dimensional art (paintings, drawings, photographs etc.), but we will give consideration to other art forms as well (installations, sculptures, video art etc.)
