Perspectives Space and Campana Studios is pleased to announce the opening of Femme Vitale, a group show including works from Southern California-based artists Ana Andrade, Kirstyn Hom, Dillon Chapman, and Nicole Merton. Femme Vitale is an homage to all cis & trans women, non binary femmes and feminine collectives making way for justice, imagination, and love across mediums, knowledge systems and practices. The show is part of the launch of Telepathine Studio, a new film and experimental media atelier led by Creative Director Carolina Montejo.
Femme Vitale is also the name of a seven episode short documentary series that celebrates femmes working in art, environmentalism, and music who are shifting the paradigms of identity, gender, joy, and activism in the larger San Diego region. Additional participants that are not in the group show include Monica Nelson and Las Sabrosas Latin Orquesta. Please see further info for screening times..
Curated in collaboration with the artists & Jay Bell
A portion of all sales from the show will be donated to the Encinitas 4 Equality and Campana Studios Youth Art Program.
