Join us for a special evening of performance to mark the closing of our current exhibition, Wander Woman.
This evening of performance compliments the visual art exhibition, Wander Woman. Ranging from participatory to literary to collaborative, performances will offer a multitude of perspectives on the experience of immigration to the Bay Area, specifically addressing issues of misrepresentation, stereotypes, cultural conflict, as well as feelings of both acceptance and intolerance.
In tandem with the exhibiting artwork, this evening of performance intends to transcend geographic boundaries by offering a variety of perspectives through diverse movement of how the body remains strong, resilient and individual despite outside forces and stigmas trying to strip the body down or push it to the margins.
Curated by Rea Lynn de Guzman, Wander Woman features works by Bay Area, first-generation immigrant women of color, who vary in professional backgrounds from emerging to established and have immigrated to the US from different parts of the world. Inspired by shared-yet-dissimilar psychological experiences of immigration and assimilation to the Bay Area, exhibiting artists present nuanced, intricate perspectives, and narratives that have developed beyond the initial concept of identity in their art practice.
Collectively, this exhibition explores complex identity politics such as diaspora, femininity, liminality, and power dynamics. Living and working in and around the sanctuary city of San Francisco, each artist's work highlights the difficulties entangled with the complexity of individual identity in connection with an ambiance of sisterhood from fellow immigrant women of color and empathic support from allies.
Performing artists include: Greta Liz Anderson, Samuel Cortez, Trinidad Escobar, OM France, Behnaz and Baharak Khaleghi, Takako Matoba and Minoosh Zomorodinia, Pallavi Sharma and Shailaja Dixit, and Christabel Soto.
