tART Collective
tART Collective is an intersectional feminist and anti-racist art collective in NYC, selected by Indie Magazine in 2017 as one of five game-changing art collectives [1]
In 2016, tART completed a collaboration with Smoke School of Art (SSA) in Atlanta, GA, at WonderRoot, that had been two years in the making: A Bad Question, an exhibition + forum on race and feminism. In a Burnaway review, Catherine Rush wrote: “A Bad Question” prioritizes conversations about race and gender in artworks that reference broken and unexamined dominant social systems, their disastrous effects on individual and communal psyches, and the existence and evolution of different voices and modes of being...Not all artists included in this exhibition necessarily consider their work “feminist,” yet the shared goal of tART and SSA to provide support for women artists is an unequivocally feminist objective. [2]
tART artists have presented on topics of female artist collectives and feminism at Open Engagement, at the Portland State University in 2011 [3] and, in 2012, collaborated with Create Collective at the Center for Anti-Violence Education on a multi-arts workshop in response to a homophobic rise in street harassment in Brooklyn's Park Slope [4] The group has held several group shows in NYC and Prague, and their actions included a reading and discussion of the Immigrant Manifesto.[5]
