The bi-annual Womxn of Colour Art Award recognizes the inequities and additional barriers that Womxn of Colour often face in their practice as visual artists. Altitude aims to explore the precarious nature of artmaking if you are a womxn of colour.
This poignant, immersive and timely show celebrates the fact that these artists are continuing to make art. As such, Altitude is holding the space for artists to question audiences as well as facilitate the emergence of new aesthetic narratives for womxn of colour.
Curator Marlene Smith has selected an exciting range of new and recent art works including drawing, print, photography, textiles, sound, film and performance.
