About Me

Exquisite Acts & Everyday Rebellions

Exquisite Acts & Everyday Rebellions is a student-organized project based at California Institute of the Arts that seeks to produce discourse around the questions and contexts of contemporary feminist practice in art and society. The project encompasses projects and workshops proposed by students from across the schools of CalArts, a curated exhibition of student, faculty, and alumni works addressing feminism, a feminist performance series, and a day-long symposium of panel discussions with guest artists, activists, and curators.

My Interests

We are inspired by the legacy of Judy Chicago and Miriam Schapiro's ground-breaking Feminist Art Program (1972-1974) at CalArts, the Feminist Art Workshop (FAWS) and F-Word Conference (1998) at CalArts, and the upcoming MOCA Geffen Contemporary Exhibition "WACK! Art & the Feminist Revolution" curated by Connie Butler.
