Gallery 66 NY Open Call: - DUALITY OF FEMININE AND FEMINIST
"Duality of Feminine and Feminist" Open Call for artists: seeks works that tackle these subjects in the “Trump Era”. Endless news cycles emphasize the fragmentary nature of our present society and a divided nations’ opposition to a single logic or subject. With this in mind, how do women balance the duality of feminine and feminist? Should we be concerned with the manner in which a woman is portrayed as strong and/or feminine? In recent cultural movements, the ramifications of mixed gender attributes seemed to be growing in popularity yet with the recent elections and threats to women’s rights in particular, are we going backwards. This ability to carry the strengths of both genders is empowering but are we now dealing with a backlash? Is the current political atmosphere an attempt to return to the stereotypical view of women as submissive and passive? Express your views on the “Duality of Feminine and Feminist” through your visual language.
