DESCRIPTION:Reading Room: The Feminist Art of Self Help  is a group exhibition that 
 explores the work of artists who critique gender essentialism of Feminism 
 from within and outside its movements. Rooted in the tradition of 
 experimental and intersectional Feminist arts, exhibiting artists create 
 new visual language and interventions in response to current and urgent 
 political formations.\n\nBy taking refuge in architectural and emotional 
 interiors, these artworks collectively propose radical Feminist aesthetics. 
 To spend time in a “reading room” implies an investment in returning to 
 foundational histories; a willingness to revise prior positions, as well an 
 openness to new information. This act is a form of self-study that has the 
 capacity to transform artistic practices into collective political 
 action.\n\nReading Room exhibiting artists not only call for political 
 action, but also the creation of safe spaces and dedication to self-care. 
 This desire for safeguarded private and public space comes from an 
 awareness of the inescapability of their own bodies that are legislated, 
 hold trauma, and reproduce social, political, and biological histories. 
 Reading Room addresses the desire to revisit and put to use Feminism in its 
 full and sometimes messiest iterations of hope and desire.
