About this Event

The Contemporary Art Modern Project is pleased to announce an artist talk for our annual fiber exhibition, 77 Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse, FAMA and Guests: We Got The Power. in conversation October 26, from 2 to 5pm.

This panel will feature artists Aida Tejada, Atelierlustig, and Adriana Carvalho, whose work is currently on display at our gallery for Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse.

"With Aida Tejada the focus is on "The Other," an often silent and unconsidered workforce of minority women harvesting crops for consumption. Atelierlustig's additions to the frieze explores the idea of sorority and the collective energy of women banded together under one goal, one ethic and the endless possibilities of change through a unified vision. Adriana Carvalho focuses on Vandana Shiva and the idea of protecting the world, and consumer from the margins of big business."

"My response to the play is one of deep respect for the undeniable power embodied in "The Other." I particularly honor the women from minority groups in underdeveloped nations who labor in the coffee harvest. These women are the backbone of their families, providing financial support while balancing their children's education and household duties. Through their tireless work, they silently contribute to their country's economy, a reality shared by countless women worldwide."

"Felted wool is a collaborating more-than-human entity, here a representation of humans as fiber bound together, united not only through the structurél strength and/or weakness of each and every fiber, but also in the soothing and healing (or the inverse) qualities of the material entities themselves and what they communicate with us. In (peut-être) Sororité, we encounter a bond of feminine quality, one that can overcome differences of class, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation and nationality. "

"Panties are quintessentially female; a poignant gateway to drive to the point that WE ARE WHAT WE EAT with the seeds that are sown and crops that we reap and women are the ones who are the most responsible to nourish people. The seeds are the edible twine that knits our family and community together."
