GUIDED VISIT FOR GROUPS
Curator Assumpta Bassas has brought together seven artists in this exhibition who speak from their life experiences, as determined by the fact of their womanhood. They reflect upon motherhood, and upon nature, based on a trusting relationship with her, understanding the earth as a teacher and nurturer of knowledge.
It is an exhibition that puts life at the centre, "to honour the memory of those who have spoken, in spite of patriarchal-capitalist violence, in order to maintain an awareness of the common good.
" How might the 4'33 '' work of musician John Cage be reinterpreted from a feminist perspective? Where is the remembrance of those women accused of witchcraft to be found? What kind of relationship might the artist establish with a natural space marked by the violence which it has suffered historically? These are some of the questions answered in this exhibition.
ACVic's guided tours aim to familiarise visitors with contemporary art in order to enrich their cultural background, and to encourage a critical perspective.
LINKED EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITY
The Earth that gives life
A mountain of soil welcomes visitors to the art centre. What does it mean? What does it imply to us? What emerges from the earth? The earth as a creator, a mother, the origin of everything and also a victim of human mistreatment. The visit begins with this perspective. This mountain of earth represents the beginning and the end of the tour through the exhibition curated by Assumpta Bassas.
