Chinese Feminist Artists Alliance members Zhen Guo, Xinmo Li, Xiaowei Chen and Zelene Jiang Schlosberg participate in the "... and the pursuit of..." international female artists exhibition presented by The Research House for Asian Art and Co-Prosperity, with other prominent female artists from China and the U.S.A.
In collaboration with Co-prosperity Sphere’s “The Pause Apothecary,” “…and the pursuit of -” presents an intersectional and interdisciplinary exploration of menopause and the female vision. This exhibition brings together artists whose practices juxtapose the bucolics of form and creation with social critique of the valuation of women through public negotiation and the historic dominion of fertility, and works that explore the cavernous mystique of MOTHER. We are interested to exhibiting works that invite contemplation and action towards the following F’s: Fecundity & Fertility, Family & Fortune, Form & Felicity, Freedom & Futurism.
As part of The Research House for Asian Art (RHAA)’s ongoing effort to expand the realm of the Asian cultural critique and investigation, this exhibition will also feature a broadcasted podcast/radio series that will bring together artists, scholars, and activists in dialogue about the state of feminism in China and diasporic communities. We aim to engage and collaborate in intergenerational and multicultural dialogue with the hope of introducing and normalizing conversations about feminism and activism in Chicago’s Asian community, the Sinosphere, and beyond.
