The Future is Female: Women Artists Speak Truth to Power

4:00pm / The Future is Female: Women Artists Speak Truth to Power

Moderator: Joen Madonna, Executive Director, San Francisco Art Span

In this climate of toxic patriarchal masculinity and resistance, how are women artists poised to influence a new, equality-based culture? What are the pressing issues that can be illuminated by examining our current milieu?  Subversive practices and visual messaging that shed light on culturally ingrained gender biases to make way for new modes of equal and respectful thinking are but two strategies shaping the practices of many female artists today. Hear local and international women artists speak about their reactions to this moment through the lens of their artmaking. Panelists include artists Juliana Coles, Gillian Keller, and Greta Di Lorenzo.
