ASRR 2016 aims to exhibit political art by black and brown women. Zita Holbourne is the first artist invited to respond to the Women of Colour Index in the Women's Art Library.
Samia Malik is an artist activist who has been studying the Women of Colour Index and is keen to introduce the WOCI to a selection of artist activists and invite them to develop work that responds to political issues raised by the artists which continue to be relevant for black women artists today. The project is called ASRR 2016 (Art Sexism Racism Resistance) and the first artist to participate is Zita Holbourne. Zita’s work is on display alongside items from the Women of Colour Index in the Special Collections and Archives in the Library and a public round-table conversation on 6pm on Tuesday May 10th.
Samia Malik writes:
"Since I’ve started going through Women of Colour catalogue in Women’s Art Library, I’ve come across valuable, important sources and references. That are still prominent, need to be shared and discussed. We’re still in a time when back and brown women are heavily scrutinised, tokenised, marginalised, silenced and ignored.
ASRR 2016 project aims to exhibit, expose and de-censor political art by black and brown women. Zita Holbourne; poet, artist and activist is the first artist to participate in the ASRR 2016 project at Women’s Art Library. We’re displaying and exhibiting Zita’s art because she has broad experience of activism, and is an inspirational, relentless campaigner. Zita's also a dynamic artist who captures issues of social justice through art in articulate and expressive dispositions."
