Love Letters in Montreal

Last Saturday, Love Letters to Feminism was dusted off and exhibited at Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences in Montreal. I was invited to show it as part of the Canandian Women's Studies Association Conference, and what a lovely experience it was. Here are some pictures from this most recent incarnation of the show:

Updating the Mail

Hi Lovers,

Such exciting news to share with you!

First:

You may have noticed my lack of follow-through on the promise to turn this blog into an online gallery. I've been pursuing some other exhibition opportunities, and I'm pleased to inform you that a very exciting one has materialized.

Thanks to the support of the Women's Studies Program at the University of Alberta, namely Professor Dr. Meagher, Love Letters to Feminism will be exhibited in some incarnation during the Canadian Women's Studies Association Conference in Montreal, which runs from May 29-31. Make sure to watch the blog to find out about viewing opportunities if you are going to be in town for the conference or for the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences Conference.

Second:

If you happen to be an alumni of the University of Alberta's Faculty of Arts, check out your own mailboxes for a bit of Love Letters. This spring Work of Art magazine, the arts alumni publication, features a story about the project. Keep your eyes peeled. And if that article is what brings you to the blog, welcome! Make sure you check the posts from the archives to see more images from Love Letters' exhibition.

The love for feminism continues. Thanks for being a part of it.

A New Kind of Post Feminism

In the new year, I will be back to business as your local feminist mail carrier. And the mail bag overflows with remarkable letters!

Make sure you keep an eye on the blog as I will be showcasing individual works along with artist statements. There sure are some stunning works and great stories.

And don't forget - your voice matters too. Be "in correspondance" with a letter you feel is speaking to you, or write one of your own. Just join in the growing conversation!
