\nThis year the Wonder Women project is being organized and curated by Doris Ca\u00c3\u00a7oilo and Joanna Rose White. It is called WWIII.<\/p>\n
“What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?” —– Mahatma Gandhi<\/p>\n
Are we in the throes of a third world war? What would another world war look like? How would an escalation in the current War on Terror affect our lives and those of the people of this planet? What changes would it create for the globe and our place in it? What, if anything have we learned from our violent histories? How can we reflect our fears, concerns and protests through our artwork and activism?<\/p>\n
Wonder Women invites artists to participate in a residency program to engage in discussion about their work, the cultural climate, the history of art, war, feminism, and social change. We are interested in creating a dialogue and artwork that explores the issues of war and protest in the modern age. Weekly discussions will address issues related to feminism, gender, war, and protest as they relate to art practice. Each participant is encouraged to bring as much as possible to the group, including readings, artist heroes, activist heroes, feminist heroes, ideas, etc.<\/p>\n
