Women in Media-Newark Present “Women in the World" Art Exhibit In 3 Locations

(NEWARK, NJ) -- Women in Media-Newark will present an innovative art exhibit entitled “Women in the World: A Visual Perspective” at three separate locations.  Rutgers University-Newark’s  Paul Robeson Art Galleries,; Monmouth University’s Pollak Gallery, and New Jersey Performing Arts Center’s (NJPAC) Victoria Lobby will each host a special segment of the exhibit.  This art exhibition is presented as a part of “Women In the World,” Women In Media – Newark’s eighth annual Women’s History Month Film Festival that will take place from March 28 – April 6 at venues throughout the state.

Curated by renowned New Jersey artists Gladys Barker Grauer and Adrienne Wheeler, this exhibit seeks to give voice to an international collection of women artists who provide their individual interpretations of the theme.  Grauer and Wheeler petitioned the artists to reflect on the theme, stating that, “Through much of the world, women and girls are objectified, discriminated against, and subjected to intimidation and emotional, physical, and sexual abuse.  Despite social, economic, and educational subjugation, women in every corner of the planet are strong, innovative, resourceful, and determined to triumph over adversity….” The artists were then asked to submit work that either literally or metaphorically related to the theme.

The curators stated that “Close to 40 of the most prolific women painters, photographers, and print makers in New Jersey responded to our invitation. We had the difficult task of making our selections for the exhibit from more than 200 pieces of the most exquisite works of art.”

This not-to-be missed exhibit features work in varied materials, mediums, and techniques including photography, prints, mixed media, sculpture and oils. Highlights of the show include:

As part of the March 1 reception at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, Women In Media – Newark will give special recognition to vocalist Wincey Terry-Bryant for her work to combat human trafficking.  Following Terry-Bryant’s recognition,  Robeson Gallery curator Anonda Bell will moderate “Say Her Name: The Artist’s Role in Socio/Political Commentary,” a discussion featuring an international panel of artists including fine artists Dominique Duroseau and Gladys B. Grauer, pianist Amina Figarova, and poet Rashida Ismaili.
