You are invited to the opening reception of "Women Work Together" by the Feminist Image Group (FIG), a new exhibit exploring creative collaboration as a catalyst for change. Exhibit runs May 3 through September 6, 2024. In an era of polarization and discord, the Feminist Image Group's (FIG) new exhibit delves into the dynamics of collaboration, exploring how cooperation is both challenging and essential in these divisive times. Artist pairs will create duets—new works of art that blend their individual ideas and styles. This collaborative process showcases the creative synergy between artists and serves as a powerful metaphor for cooperation as a social process. The underlying aim of this all-media project is to ignite a dialogue that fosters empathy, understanding, and the collective advancement of society. Mandell Weiss Gallery Curator, Elizabeth Tobias, who is also a member of FIG, explains, “FIG creates visually stunning and thought-provoking exhibits that explore critical issues impacting women in society. ‘Women Work Together’ examines collaboration as a feminist response to present-day conflict and division. Together, the artists will leverage their individual talents and perspectives to achieve a shared goal.” For artist Susan Osborn, who is collaborating with Jennifer Spencer, “the act of working with someone to create brings enhanced communication and respect.” “Learning how another artist works teaches me to expand my ways of creating, says Jennifer Spencer,” as a result, I may change how I continue to do my own work.” FIG is a coalition of San Diego artists who organize exhibitions and support one another in their careers. FIG artists work across many media, including drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, installation, digital media, and performance. As artists, they are concerned with how women continue to be portrayed and treated in the art world. They promote an inclusive world view that allows all voices. FIG was formed in 2009 by artist and curator Anna Stump. There are currently over 70 members in San Diego. Participating Artist Duets: Alessandra Moctezuma + Doris Bittar Ann Olsen + Kim Niehans Cindy Zimmerman + Hannah Johansen Irene Abraham + Stacie Birky-Greene Jane E Hindman + Judith Christensen Jennifer Spencer + Susan Osborn Kathi McCord + Kathleen Mitchell Kathy Nida + Moya Devine Kirsten Aaboe + Mary Pennell Minnie Valero + Linda Litteral Momilani Ramstrum + Therese Rossi A program of San Diego Ballet. Funded in part by the Mandell Weiss Charitable Trust and the NTC Foundation curated by Elizabeth Tobias. For more information visit: libertystation.com
