One phrase that stored coming to thoughts as I believed in regards to the exhibits under is “visionary.” Whether or not it’s reimagining the ways in which ladies are mentioned in literature or centered in pictures, or working towards HIV prevention and systemic oppression of LGBTQ+ individuals, the artists featured have all used their platforms in progressive methods. That almost all of those exhibits strategy artwork from a feminist perspective is an added bonus. Chloe Dzubilo’s drawings are correctives to the ingrained homophobia and transphobia which have lengthy hindered HIV care, whereas Julia Margaret Cameron made ladies the celebs of her pictures. And we are able to thank Jane Austen for making a central area for ladies’s tales in trendy literature.
