NJCU Galleries and _gaia are pleased to co-present Eye of the Storm, the 11th annual Wonder Women Residency Project which features nine women artists exploring the increasingly vital issues of climate change and current environmental challenges. Eye of the Storm is an urgent call for action to address the drastic changes in temperature, glacial melt, super storms, plastics pollution, and contaminated resources, from our local communities to as far away as the Arctic. Each artist’s work s an individual narrative, engaging in the science, data and future of life on the planet, and considers the artist’s role in informing and empowering people.

The Wonder Women mission is to engage underrepresented artists who are eager to participate in a collective dialogue about agency, gender, art and social change. This year’s residency was hosted at Dineen Hull Gallery at Hudson County Community College, which will hold a panel discussion on Friday, May 4, 2018, 3 – 5pm.

_gaia, an environment for creative process is dedicated to fostering women’s activism, art practice and study.
