Item Type: Thesis
Creators: Alejandria, Cassidy
Abstract:

The exhibition The Hypervisible Woman and her Shadow brings together artworks by Inéz Petrazzini, Jasmine Liaw, and Mina Keykhaei to consider arts-based methods for refuting ideas of objective truth and hierarchies of knowledge, and how these can contribute to discourses of U.S. Third World feminism. This approach builds upon key characteristics of U.S. Third World feminism, such as centering of embodied/lived experiences and using difference to fuel dialogue. As a curatorial project this exhibition naturally lends to a research-creation process in which my own embodied experiences can and must be made apparent. As a result, the exhibition provides vantage points to examine potential uses of embodied, experiential curation, foregrounding critical artworks which reflect contemporary ideas of U.S. Third World feminism, for supporting the broader representation of art to question the support for ideas of objective truth and hierarchies of knowledge.
