Nasty Women
Alice Skinner
Alice Skinner
In line with the global Nasty Women movement, which curates international exhibitions, we as Curated by Girls could not stay behind or stay silent. In addition to the marches and protests, we want to raise a fist against racism, fascism, sexism and oppression through art.
This online exhibition will be truly international, there are no boundaries. We can have our voices be heard and our visions be seen. We are nasty, and we are united in the diversity that Curated by Girls stands for.
Alice Skinner is the first artist we bring to your attention, the artist was featured on our website in the past and her work reflects on today's political environment.
"The issue has become more emblematic than Trump, it is the fact the world is showing us that the treatment of women is still so unimportant. What message does it send to little girls that a man that marks you out of ten on your looks, that can brazenly talk about sexually assaulting you and one that can condemn and punish you based on your skin colour or religion is worthy to take the biggest title of all? We have not only given a platform to this vile, bigoted rhetoric we have made him 'the leader of the free world'. We need to resist, organise and be heard for future generations worldwide to ensure an injustice like this never happens again and that real change comes about. After the march I feel more powerful and proud to be a woman than ever, something is really happening now and I feel strength in the solidarity and knowing that this is only the beginning."
Part of the profits on the piece Women´s March by Alice Skinner will be donated to Planned Parenthood. Works can be purchased on the artist's website
