T&A: The Art of Truth and Activism
Iowa premiere | All over the world,
young women artists are employing the tools, language and motifs of hip-hop as
a means of expression and connection, of education, and of social and political activism.
T&A: The Art of Truth and Activism, a stunning and revelatory new
exhibit, incorporates the work of 30 of these young artists, hailing from
across the USA, as well as from Canada, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, France and South Africa. The
bold, vibrant and eye-popping show includes works in a variety of
media: from video and photography, to painting, sculpture and textiles.
T&A: The Art of Truth and Activism was
curated by DeAnna Cummings, assisted by Michele Spaise, in
conjunction with B-Girl Be: A Celebration of Women in Hip-Hop, a
multi-disciplinary event produced by Intermedia Arts, Minneapolis, in June and July 2007.
