A Collaboration of riffRAG and
Flux Factory
What
A monthly gathering of young,
feminist artists that serves as a forum for discussion, analysis
and inspiration. Each month the forum will feature one artist who
presents on their work or a chosen topic and moderates a discussion.
Presenters, curated by riffRAG and the Flux
Factory, facilitate the
direction of the discussion based on their own interests and expertise.
However, this forum also serves as an opportunity for other artists
to bring works in progress, build community and evaluate the process
of creating identity.
Mission
To provide an opportunity
for talented and often under-recognized artists to present their
work. We hope
to raise questions about the
tensions between individualism and community. The worlds of art
and progressive political work are incredibly fractured into
micro-scenes.
It is our intention to create a space for young women, and their
allies, from diverse subcultures, mediums, agendas, backgrounds
and professions to exchange ideas and resources. Given the current
social
and political context, which effects us at a global, national,
local and personal level, it is necessary to promote collaboration
among
feminist artists in order to support each other and use our work
to effectively leverage a challenge to oppression in all its
forms.
