We Got The Power w/ Pangea, Silvana, Valeria, and Angela Chaine

The Contemporary Art Modern Project is pleased to announce an artist talk for our annual fiber exhibition, 77 Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse, FAMA and Guests: We Got The Power. in conversation October 26, from 2 to 5pm.

This panel will feature CAMP artists Pangea Kali Virga, Silvana Soriano, and Valeria Montag, whose work is currently on display at our gallery for Women Pulling at the Threads of Social Discourse; also featuring special guest, curator and art historian Angela Chaine.

"The Contemporary Art Modern Project’s interpretation, like many modern and post-modern interpretations, centers a markedly non-male, intersectional gaze. How do we arrive here in the face of this, in some ways, offensive reference material? How do we take a duplicitous and super ancient echoing of those visions and values and derive such a display? How do we go from the violence and harm inherent to misogyny, sexism, disenfranchisement—and a downright alienating male attitude that won’t quit—to a showcasing of the power of authentic unity, deliberately contextualized outside of it?"

"Quench Their Furies, takes an excerpt from Lysistrata before the Old Women douse the Old Men in water. Water for me has always been a sign of femme softness and graceful power. The piece is inspired by this powerful symbol and the delicate cross stitching my grandmother used to do, often stitching biblical verses and landscapes."

"Drawing inspiration from the slogan No Peace No Pussy from Spike Lee’s film Chiraq, I explore the convergence of historical imagery and modern discourse on the female body. In this project, I bridge contemporary activism with illustrations of vulvas from a medieval prayer book, making a temporal cut through time."

"In Portuguese, the expression "Mulheres de fibra" or "Fiber Women" means Strong Women. The craft is passed down from generation to generation and is unique within Brazilian culture with its diverse influences. The embroidered texts on the fabrics refer to family stories and traditional songs passed down through generations."
