Politically-Charged Fiber Exhibition Exploring The Voices Of Women Returns To Miami

NORTH MIAMI, Fla. - Oct. 11, 2024 - PRLog -- The Contemporary Art Modern Project is pleased to announce the opening of their annual fiber exhibition, 77 Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse, FAMA and Guests: We Got The Power. The exhibition is curated by gallery founder and director, Melanie Prapopoulos, and assistant director Maria Gabriela Di Giammarco.

Opening on Friday, October 11th from 7 – 10pm, the sixth edition of this exhibition series draws inspiration from Lysistrata by Aristophanes, and Spike Lee's response to organized violence in Chi-Raq. Honoring the play and its era, over 100 pieces were made for the open call, all touching on themes of violence, war, sexual power, the patriarchy, and the power of women. These artworks will be installed as a continuous frieze throughout the gallery space, up until the end of the year. This event is free & open to the public.

"The artists in this exhibition have contributed artwork with an interest in acknowledging their shared cultural responsibilities as peacemakers and civic players. This collection of narratives encompasses a variety of ages, gender identities, technical knowledge, and cultural experiences through an emphasis on textiles and fiber.." —co-curator Maria Gabriela Di Giammarco.
