Embodiment: Gender in the Expanse
featuring Natalie Krick, barry johnson, Hanako O’Leary, Rafael Soldi, Kali Spitzer, and Anthony White
With vulnerability and empathy, artists Natalie Krick, barry johnson, Hanako O’Leary, Rafael Soldi, Kali Spitzer, and Anthony White explore the expanse of gender with their practice. Expectations of gender and sexuality shape our social landscape. Through these unique expressions of how cultural and societal impositions may be placed on our bodies, we have the opportunity to see our own enactment of these roles more clearly .Acknowledging that gender is performative, rather than anatomical, how does our physical embodiment contribute to our gender identity? How can we engage the socially constructed qualities of our gender identity, if at all? Approaching themes that are essential to our core sense of self, Embodiment examines the relationship between our internal truth and external positionality. Each of these artists inspire and encourage us to bravely self-determine.
