Discover how feminist groups of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including Heterodoxy, have shaped how we live today. How might their example help us create a space and structure for discussing the issues of our own time?
Join this virtual talk with artist Jessica Campbell and curator DJ Hellerman. Following the artist’s presentation on the research that led to her FWM solo exhibition, the two will discuss the impact of feminist clubs and lessons their successes and failures may hold for today.
Organized in conjunction with Jessica Campbell: Heterodoxy.
Jessica Campbell is a multidisciplinary artist and author working in comics, fibers, painting, drawing, and performance. Drawing on a wide range of influences, including science fiction, art world politics, and her evangelical upbringing, Campbell explores ways to reflect heterogeneity through a combination of disparate media, subjects, and tone. Whether through cartoony depictions or the use of unorthodox material, her work often wields humor as a device to help one come to terms with its darker subject matter.
DJ Hellerman is Chief Curator & Director of Curatorial Affairs at The Fabric Workshop & Museum, where he leads the research and implementation of artist-centered projects, exhibitions, and programming. He is committed to building relationships based on trust, effective communication, and vulnerability to allow for the openness and intimacy essential to creating meaningful work. Working with artists across context-sensitive, intergenerational, and interdisciplinary projects, DJ focuses on artistic process; the relationship between art, technology, and spirituality; place-based art making; early use of video as an artform; and the development of alternative cultural institutions. Recent exhibitions include Henry Taylor: Nothing Change, Nothing Strange, among many others.
