Art for Lunch | Rebellious: Alberta Women Artist in the 1980s

"You’re seeing less than half the picture without the vision of women artists and artists of color." —A public service message from Guerrilla Girls, conscience of the art world. 

Join us for Art for Lunch as Gallery Attendant Becky Thera leads us through a discussion in the current exhibition “Rebellious,” focusing on what it means to be a female-identifying artist. What are the struggles of being a female artist, both historically and currently? How can art address and critique social gender conventions? Looking at selected works, we will discuss how Albertan artists in the 1980s used art as a tool to challenge what is “feminine” and create space for differing female voices and experiences.
