Curator’s Statement
Rita Sciacca
My intention is motivated by the desire to give voice and agency to a group of female artists to exhibit together. We are a diverse group with individual practises showcasing our diverse style, theme and stories, our work is not regulated by a theme or institution, but in a shared experience to create, play explore and make. I have a very long history with some of the artists and some are new connections. It has been exciting for me to bring them together through this shared experience.
Making Art is a way of connecting, communicating, expressing beliefs, recording the simple things from daily life or expressing ones internal world, the world of the imagination and play, and sometimes exorcising emotion. It can be a way of documenting our journey through our own personal symbolic language.
So I welcome the viewer on this journey. I hope there is something to connect with that touches the heart and imagination of viewers, that there is something you as the viewer can share with “Collective 2026” Exhibition at Red Gallery.
