This event has ended.
“A group of 25 diverse women artists were invited to create art about present conditions of DISILLUSIONMENT, whether personal, global, cultural, political or societal — addressing issues of deception, falseness, unfaithfulness, betrayal and treachery – with reference to wearing, inhabiting, being veiled, clothed, draped, revealed, exposed or wrapped in disillusion.
The artwork that emerged from these varied artists ranges from ‘me too’ narratives, to hurricane reflections, political annotations, and historical texts. The media and methods used are equally diverse and eclectic, including welded woven steel, found assemblage, paper collage, sewn materials and ephemeral body casts.
The Theme DISILLUSIONMENT emerged as artists Robin Holder, and Marina Gutierrez compared artworks done a decade earlier — two wedding gowns revealing counter-narratives of disenchantment. The development of DISILLUSIONMENT as an exhibit included an in-depth discussion with Robin Holder, Marina Gutierrez, Nitza Tufino and Rafaela Ronnie Billini, invited Exhibit Coordinator. The themes in these works have particular resonance to the current state of our society in flux. Taller Boricua is proud to present DISILLUSIONMENT as part of Women’s History Month”.
