Recontarnos (Rewriting Us) is a multidisciplinary exhibition of work by Central American women artists that highlights and entwines the lived experiences, perspectives, and shared resiliency of women in the region. Historically, the social narratives of women in Central America have been told from the patriarchal male gaze. This is the first Central American exhibition that features all women artists, and is curated by an all-female and feminist curatorial collective using curaduría comunitaria. This project is a way of owning our own portrayal through the creative autonomy of our storytelling, sharing thoughts and feelings...through sorority, tenderness and care; thus the title Rewriting Us.
The selected artworks thread together acts of resistance with depictions of daily life, violence and loss, interpretations of feminisms and the female body, youth and old age, and desired and undesired motherhood, among other topics. Together, they weave our coexistence into the diverse fabric of female identity across the region. The result is a political statement that relies upon and fosters abundant discourse, generating an active conversation between diverse perspectives and experiences displayed in the physical space. We riot by rewriting our own narratives, for we are not merely seeking inclusion, but a conscious transformation of the structures and processes that depict womens' perspectives and experiences.
Recontarnos (Rewriting Us) is an apexart NYC Open Call exhibition. For the latest information on the exhibition and related events, visit apexart.org/larevuelta.php or contact elizabeth.larison@apexart.org.
La Revuelta is an all female collective based in Guatemala that creates intersectional and decentralized art projects to rewrite the historical narrative of women through the female gaze of Central America. Using art expressions as a tool, they recover spaces and expose that which has been historically denied to women. These actions strengthen the social fabric by weaving women back into it as diverse, strong, and colorful threads. Members include: Maya Juracán (Activist and Art Curator), Renata Alvarez (Architect and Art Curator), Jimena Galán Dary (Communicator and Investigator), and Christa Krings (Producer and Cultural Manager).
