In collaboration with The Do Good Fund, this exhibition explores interior feminine identity through lens based practices. As an homage to Carrie Mae Weems “Kitchen Table Series”, this exhibition integrates work from inside and outside The Do Good Fund Collection to explore who we are in private, domestic spaces as sites of healing, agency, joy and pain. Building from the slogan “The Personal is Political”, popularized by Carol Hanisch in 1970, and the complex terrain of feminist thought– these artists present a deeply personal point of view. Themes of intimacy, loss, and isolation permeate these scenes, and complicate the cultural expectations of home-making as the purview and proclivity of women. By foregrounding how we occupy private space over the objective construction of it, how we inhabit and our ways of being at home vs. the outside world, open up new reflections on safety, access, class, and need.
