I assume you sent these to me to help in the Women in Black Art Project 2002 which I have written about to many organizations. I am not sure how you got my name, but I am glad of it! Just in case, here are the particulars of the Women in Black Art Project 2002 which we are putting together, and for which we need URGENTLY (no later than Dec. 30, 2001!) photographs and texts related to women who have been imprisoned, tortured or killed for their work in behalf of peace, human and women's rights. To summarize the project: The project is in three parts: The first involves the development of three costumes by artist Robin Masi. The costumes will consist of discarded wedding dresses, painted black, large black hats and heavy black veiling and black gloves. The costumes will be photocollaged, black on black, with images and texts. Each costume has a theme. One will honor Afghan women's struggles. One will honor the organization Women in Black, which has been conducting vigils for peace since 1988 in more than 30 countries worldwide (they were nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize this year). And the third will honor the history of women's activism internationally in behalf of peace, and women's and human rights. This last dress will especially feature photos and names of women who have been imprisoned, tortured or killed for their work for peace and rights. The second aspect of the project will involve deploying the dresses in vigil before major buildings and monuments in Washington, DC. They will be worn in the vigils by members of the feminist dance troupe Sister's Trousers, and the vigils photodocumented by well-known photojournalist Catherine Karnow. The third aspect will be exhibition and travel of both the costumes and the photos of the Washington vigils. We have applied to be included in Meridian International's traveling exhibition of art by US artists in response to 9-11, which will open in February in Washington DC and travelto a number of locations in the US and internationally over the next year. We expect to hear within the next few days if we have been included. If we are not included, we will seek another way to exhibit and travel the costumes and the photodocumentation of them in vigil. An important part of the exhibition stage of the project will be the deployment of the costumes in vigil by members of the Women in Black organization in the cities where they are exhibited, internationally. Photodocumentation of these vigils will be done by the local groups. Please contact me immediately if you can provide photos or texts related to any of the three costume themes: Afghan women's struggle, Women in Black demonstrations since 1988, and especially photos of women involved in peace and human rights activism around the world who have been imprisoned, tortured or killed. Again, we need these photos URGENTLY, no later than DECEMBER 30, 2001. Any referrals to potential sources of funding will also be welcome. We are all participating gratis, but we need some funding to pay for materials and for processing and printing photographs and framing them. Thank you for any help you can provide!
