The Print Center is delighted to announce that we have received a significant 2020 Project Grant from The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage to support a solo exhibition with the photo-based artist Carmen Winant.
Entitled I Re-Emerge: Imaging the Self, the project will explore the properties of photographs created as instructional tools and will reflect on historical and contemporary representations of women’s oppression, liberation and self-expression. Winant will draw materials from the archive of Women In Transition (WIT), a social service organization that began as a feminist collective in West Philadelphia in 1971. Winant will translate its photographs and ephemera into gallery installations, prints displayed in public spaces and an artist book, all which will shed light on the often invisible experiences of women.
We are very excited to embark on this collaborative project with Winant and WIT. As a curator, this is an excellent opportunity to deeply engage with an artist and to fulfill their vision from conception to execution. I am honored to do that with Winant thanks to the generous support of The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.
