Mauery work in London exhibit celebrating International Women’s Day
Andy Mauery, associate professor of art, has work in the exhibition, “T’ART,” sponsored by Sweet ‘Art at the Bones and Pearl Gallery, London, U.K., March 7–9. Celebrating International Women’s Day, T’ART brings together a range of visual artists, whose work explores themes of feminine identity. Each artist tackles the theme in an idiosyncratic way, examining aspects of gender identity, feminist issues or personal perspectives. This year, the theme for IWD is #BeBoldForChange so artists will also be considering how to forge change in today’s political and social climate. Works celebrate, critique, challenge, ridicule and reflect notions of femininity in our society and internationally.
This year, Sweet ‘Art will also be producing a T’ART ZINE, a participatory artwork, with artists and visitors to the exhibition. Self-publications have a long history of political resistance, with movements such as Riot Grrrl, with women producing zines with radical and feminist content. The T’ART ZINE will allow audiences to express their responses to the artwork on show, as well as contributing their own ideas to the themes of the exhibition and International Women’s Day and will grow organically throughout the exhibition.
