About The Evolutionary Girls Club
" THE EVOLUTIONARY GIRLS CLUB"
Description:
The Evolutionary Girls Club is an international group of artists, scholars and activists who deal with issues around voice, access and privilege though the making and exhibiting of art, (be it visual, written, or any other form). The group has done art exhibitions and workshops in Ukraine, Germany, the United States, Sweden, Poland, Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Japan, Finland, Malaysia, Singapore, China, Guyana... We publish a book once a year. Anyone who is interested in art and activism can join. You don't need to be a girl by identity or genetics. We only exclude exclusive behavior/actions.
Mission:
The Evolutionary Girls Club is an INCLUSIVE group of artists, scholars and activists with a focus of sharing voice, access and opportunity between its members and within the communities we live in and visit. We have many genders within our membership. Anyone who is interested in art and activism can join. You don't need to be a girl by identity or genetics. We only exclude exclusive behavior/actions.
The group started out of conversations between women around the lack of truly inclusive networks of people within art and academia. Strength is found in numbers. The sub-division of various groups of people fighting for voice, access and choices weakens the ability of each of these groups to work toward a world that is beyond categories and pigeonholes for people. It is these categories and the lack of recognizing the power in the spaces in between them that assists those with power to oppress those without.
Women have been contained within the ranks of man and his/story for years. The name began as a play on the idea of the "old boys club". It calls attention to the privileging of men and what is perceived as male in language, power, behavior, access and privilege.
The group recognizes privilege, both visible (such as race and gender) and invisible (such as sexual orientation, gender identity and class) and works hard to give inequities voice so that the entities and individuals that reinforce fear and ignorance are not allowed to maintain power through our silence. Even privileges given around visible traits tend to go unacknowledged.
We publish a book with images, sound, member bios, articles and creative writing about once a year. We attempt to do shows that help groups with social activism, shows that bring art into public spaces as well as shows in more traditional gallery settings. We speak at events and lead workshops. Many of us are involved in direct activism and we sometimes form groups to attend protests, forward petitions, etc. We work together to inform and expand each other.
