FAC 2018 Residency Open Studio Exhibition & Social
Join 22 international feminist artists as they open their studios to the public for one evening only, showcasing the results of their two-week residency. Visitors will see both finished and in-progress works addressing topics such as racism, transphobia, cultural appropriation, environmental degradation, and more. Attendees can meet the artists, discuss their work, and engage in a celebratory, community-focused atmosphere.
The FAC residency provides a platform to explore social justice issues through a feminist lens. The residency gathers artists together who focus on social justice issues such as rape culture, transphobia, ableism, racism, violence, media representation, cultural appropriation, environmental degradation and impact on Indigenous lands, violence against women, and Islamophobic policies. We aim to create a space that is celebratory, positive, intellectually engaging and provocative. We are committed to this space being trans-inclusive, anti-racist, and intersectional. The residencies include individual studio time accented with group discussions, readings, video, reflection, guest speakers, group and individual critiques. The resulting work will be presented in this exhibition at the end of the two-week residency at Artscape Gibraltar Point.
