OPEN CALL - LOSS AND EMPOWERMENT

Our current exhibition 49.5 set out to explore the themes of women, power, images and politics. Conceived of in the pre-Covid era, it was delayed by many months and opened in November 2020, just as we awaited election results. The prospect of a woman in the White House loomed large, and the show’s themes felt particularly prescient. As 49.5 now prepares to close at the end of February, we are considering power through a different lens. This past year has been defined by profound loss and disempowerment for many of us. As we account for and process our loss, we are also looking for ways, both individually and communally, to reclaim our power and purpose.

601Artspace invites you to participate in a curated online exhibition addressing the themes of loss and empowerment, to be featured on our website in February and March 2021.
