SYZYGY: Feminism
June 8 - July 18
An international exhibition featuring artists from Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Mexico, Poland, Spain, Taiwan and the USA.
The threads that unite us.
Wanting to think of a world aligned and without inequalities, this project takes as reference a celestial and philosophical word to create emphasis on our need for a world with rights and equality. It is ironic to think that, almost reaching the first quarter of the 21st century, we still have to fight to make the world understand that equal rights are imperative. Women as the giving, creating and managing center of our world are still relegated to conditions of professional and social inequality.
Artists of various expressions have been invited to this project and the selection is based solely on professional level and not on their gender identity or sexuality. The curatorship tries to show from the creation a position of equality with a single objective to create and leave a decree of a group of artists with an egalitarian mentality.
Syzygy definition:
A conjunction or opposition, especially of the moon with the sun. If three celestial bodies in any solar system are aligned, they could be said to be aligned in syzygy. This often applies to the sun, moon, and earth, but any planet can be in syzygy.
In psychology it refers to a state of balance or union between opposing forces or elements. It is often used to describe the integration of different aspects of the self, such as the conscious and the unconscious, the masculine and the feminine, or the rational and irrational.
syzygy in philosophy refers to the alignment or relationship between different entities. The word syzygy is derived from the ancient Greek words syn, meaning “with, together,” and zygoun, meaning “united.” Although reference is often made to different relational concepts or dichotomies, the idea of unity is central throughout.
Note: The Syzygy project aims to raise awareness on social issues of equal rights by supporting feminism, LGBTQ2S+ and BIPOC communities.
This project will run for three years in 2025, 26, and 27. The first year focuses on feminism, the second on LGBTQ2S+, and the third year on the BIPOC community. This project is being created in collaboration with national and international organizations as follows:
-
In Canada, The Temiskaming Art Gallery, The Ontario Society of Artists, The Propeller Gallery and the Kirkland Lake Multicultural group.
-
In Mexico, the Bauprés center, the facilities of the Cultural Center for art exhibitions of the University of Sinaloa, the Angela Peralta gallery and the Mazatlán Art Museum.
-
In Colombia the Museum of Modern Art of Bucaramanga.
-
In Brazil ATAL 609 and Femeafabrica.
