Join Ni Santas at SHG on Friday, March 3, 2023, for the closing reception of Muñecas de Cartón. Bring a blank t-shirt or tote bag, buy one at a sliding scale to print, or sign up to perform during the evening’s open mic. Everyone is welcome!
Open Mic begins at 7 pm. Must be present to sign up.
Muñecas de Cartón presents the intentional, yet spontaneous, joint effort between women artists to create, be heard and be seen. The title is derived from the artist collective's extensive use of cardboard as their medium and the ephemeral context in which the work was created–– site and event specific. The exhibition features installations, prints, flyers, photos, and protest signs made by the different members throughout its six years, demonstrating the collective's bluntness, activist ideology, and passion for elevating women's voices. Ni Santas is an autonomous all Women of Color collective whose mission is to create socially conscious visual narratives and promote sisterhood through skill sharing.
