Occupy the Moment, Intersect History with Impact
50th Anniversary of the National Women’s Caucus For Art Exhibition
Bridgeport Art Center
Chicago, ILL
January 21–February 25, 2022
In the last half century, the art historical canon has been uprooted and redefined. The canon was erected on categorized colonial narratives and invented racial rankings. The WCA has cast aside this “white male gaze” to define our own vision.
This National WCA 50th Anniversary exhibition features works that address this moment of 2022. Artists were encouraged to interpret the theme broadly, considering the multiple paths of how we arrived here and what we envision moving forward. We encouraged art that explored the ways that our identities and expressions intersect with such factors as environment, culture, time, and location. Artwork submission were open to any approach and form, subjects in range from the historic precedents set by political activism, to personal transformation, social engagement and beyond.
