Author Description

Exhibition catalog for HEROINE-ITY exhibition at Eastern Art Gallery, ECSU that brings together a group of women who have been in the vanguard of feminist art making. They deploy their creative agency through role-play, costume, impersonation, and self-transformation to confront culturally entrenched forms of misogyny. They have in common a perfor- mative anchor: their bodies are the center of their work - a personal act of resistance to a repressive patriarchal society.
