NASTY—an international exhibition, curated by Karen Gutfreund, for and about those who challenge patriarchy and refuse to stay silent, creating a groundswell revolt with women artists who dare to speak up and speak out. The exhibition uses art to advocate for political, economic, and social equality for all addressing topics like violence against women, reproductive rights, identity and gender roles, beauty and sexuality, and empowerment. These 17 female artists seek to influence cultural attitudes and incite the viewer to question the social and political landscape, and through this questioning, affect the world and incite change. Including: Emily Dvorin, Sally Edelstein, Alyssa Eustaquio, Karen Gutfreund, Yolanda Guerra, Judy Johnson-Williams, Beth Lakamp, Sarah Maple, Tanya Nolan, Priscilla Otani, Jessica Putnam-Phillips, Spooky Boobs Collective, Colette Standish, Morgan Ford Willingham and Meghan Willis hosted at Arc Gallery, San Francisco, 3/11-4/15/17.
