Artist Talk: Uncanny
Featuring Fabiola Jean-Louis and Sheida Soleimani
Friday, March 7 from 12 to 1 pm ET
Discover how women artists challenge patriarchal norms and inspire new perspectives through art.
On the eve of International Women’s Day, join us for a special program exploring NMWA’s new exhibition Uncanny. Curator Orin Zahra joins exhibition artists Fabiola Jean-Louis and Sheida Soleimani, who discuss how their works use feminist strategies of defamiliarization and resistance. How do artists use the concept of the uncanny to reclaim agency, reimagine narratives, and spark new perspectives?
Unearthly, enigmatic, and psychologically tense, the works in Uncanny give form to women artists’ powerful expressions of existential unease. This exhibition surveys the use of the uncanny from the Surrealist movement to the present. Artists subvert gender stereotypes and explore feminist issues through disquieting spaces, fantastical figures, and technology that appears eerily human.
Free. Reservation required.
