Curatorial statement

This year’s Gender Studies Symposium Art Exhibition incorporates many different aspects of this year’s symposium theme: “Gender and Sexuality in Play.” The artists’ broad interpretations of this theme address a multitude of topics including ideas of leisure, games, humor, and play. Through various artistic styles and media, the featured artists highlight the diverse ways in which gender and sexuality influence and are part of our recreational practices. Their explorations allow us to see the very real ways in which gender and sexuality infiltrate every aspect of our daily lives. Many of the works this year are two-dimensional pieces, and it is compelling to consider how these artists captured the spirit and energy of “play” in a two-dimensional form. We hope this exhibit offers viewers the experience of an exciting and creative dialogue with this year’s speakers and panels.
