 Root Division Studio Artist\n\nPresented in partnership with the Feminist 
 Art Coalition, Until It Shatters showcases the work of 15 Current & Alumni 
 Root Division Studio Artists whose work disrupts existing systems, both 
 thematically or through the physical making process itself, to create 
 alternative routes forward. \n\nThe exhibition title is in reference to 
 Hillary Clinton’s presidential concession speech “Now, I know we have 
 still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling, but someday, 
 someone will..." Since its original inception, the curatorial model of 
 Until It Shatters has adapted. What initially \nstarted with a standard 
 curatorial model, has shifted to an artist-driven project based on the 
 shared need for community. \n\nTo modify Clinton’s quote, the elusive 
 ceiling will only shatter by a collective force through the elevation of 
 diverse voices. The exhibition’s theme inherently calls for a 
 collaborative, emergent \nmodel of working to highlight the 
 intersectionality of the works, which include themes of womanhood, 
 environmentalism, the womxn body, motherhood, self care, and invisible 
 labor, among others - all woven together and informing one another. 
 Additionally, many of the works being exhibited are outside of the 
 artists’ main body of work and have been developed throughout the last 
 several months of quarantine. \n\nThe process leading up to the exhibition 
 is a part of the show itself - creating a web of connections, a call and 
 response between artists through shared agency and experiences. After 
 participating in virtual group studio visits, each artist finalized the 
 work they will be exhibiting based on the conversation and feedback. 
 Artists then interviewed one another in pairs or small groups, discussing 
 how they support and are supported by other womxn artists, as well as what 
 they are currently reanalyzing. Through this process, Until It Shatters 
 results in a collection of work that is deeply personal, unapologetic and 
 visually varied. \n\n\nUntil It Shatters will be on view by appointment in 
 the Root Division Gallery from Nov. 6 - Nov. 30, 2020, or online right 
 here:  rootdivisiontalk.wordpress.com starting from November 3 - 30.\n\nTo
