A beautiful array of art by men and women who share their feminist perspectives fills Muzeumm through this Sunday. A Feminist Perspective offers sculpture, mixed media, paintings, and most of all a witty, transcendent series of artworks.

We were especially taken by the gorgeous coiled metal wires of Chenhung Chen’s cocoon-like sculpture…
Bibi Davidson’s vibrant paintings, with their clean, glowing style and succinct message – It’s None of Your Business indeed…
Lena Moross’ lush and imperssionistic painting of Ms. Davidson, glowing with color.
The video installation by co-curator and artist Schomaker, “The Paper Doll Test,” offers a compelling, compassionate take on body image.
According to Schomaker, “The is the 2nd year in a row that Baha Danesh and I have curated A Feminist Perspective. It initially started with a space and a vision,” she notes.
“We were very lucky last year to be able to use a wonderful large space at the Montalban Theatre and this year, even luckier to have Muzeumm host the event. We created the exhibition because we wanted to be part of the conversation on Feminism today,” she explains. “We wanted to show that there is not just one single idea of Feminism, but many perspectives from men, women and the LGBT community. While Feminism focuses on women, it carries a much broader idea of equality for all.”
