Gender Studies Symposium Call For Art!



Dear students and community members,

WE NEED YOUR ART!

You may have heard about the upcoming Gender Studies Symposium in March 2023: Bodies of Knowledge: Gender, Sex, Science, and Medicine. This year’s theme invites examination of the ways in which science and medicine interact with gender and sexuality to create knowledge, establish authority, and shape policy, and it considers how gender and sexuality shape and are shaped by our interactions with medical and scientific ideas and institutions.

This is where you come in! One important part of the symposium each year is an art exhibit composed of pieces from community members and students like you. We encourage submissions engaging with topics of gender and sexuality, with special consideration for work related to this year’s theme of science and medicine.

The exhibit will include a physical and virtual gallery, and we invite film and video submissions as well as 2D and 3D works. Since there is a virtual component of the exhibit, we suggest taking detailed and high resolution photographs of your work. You can submit artwork through this google form. The deadline for art submissions is Monday, February 6 at the end of the day.

Anyone and everyone is encouraged to submit their work! Please help spread the word to your friends, peers, and other members of the community who may be interested, and do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns. For more information, visit the symposium website.

We look forward to seeing your art!
